Hi, I'm Colton
My work has given me access to areas that are rarely seen and often difficult to reach.
I believe those opportunities shouldn’t be limited to a few, but access comes with responsibility—strong safety systems, good judgment, and respect for the places we work in.

New Zealand -
Wild Exposure
Nov - April of '25 and '26
My time in New Zealand pushed my technical swiftwater ability to the next level. Working as a canyon guide mainly in a V3 A4 canyon, often solo guiding professionally, gave me valuable experience operating in demanding and dynamic environments. Outside of work, I explored some of New Zealand's world class canyons, continuing to develop advanced movement, rescue, and decision-making skills. I also descended New Zealand’s largest cave system, including the country’s biggest cave drop, further expanding my experience in serious vertical terrain.

This was one of my first roles that led me into work as a rescue technician. Supporting the Siska First Nation, our team gathered data from a cave system to assess its suitability as a fish passageway. The project combined elements of confined space rescue, swiftwater operations, rope access, and land management, while working closely alongside the local community.

One of the highlights of my caving career was taking part in exploration trips that helped discover and map what became Canada’s largest cave system, the Argo System. Over several multi-day expeditions, we travelled deep underground, established camp inside the cave, and worked to extend and survey new passages. The experience demanded endurance, technical rope work, navigation, and the ability to operate effectively in a remote underground environment.

During my time in school, I completed an Honours Bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Recreation, Parks, and Tourism, building a strong foundation in leadership, risk management, and outdoor operations. I also taught ice climbing through the school.
I founded the school climbing club and served as president, creating opportunities for students to get involved in climbing.
Alongside this, I volunteered with Search and Rescue for four years, later serving on the Board of Directors, where I gained valuable leadership and governance experience.
