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.

Ice Climbing, Ontario

Jan 17,2021

Thunder Bay is at the northern tip of Lake Superior and I lived there for 5 years. This small city has some of the most amazing access to outdoor recreation that I have ever witnessed. Incredible biking, surfing, camping, hiking, rock climbing and incredible, towering frozen waterfalls in the winter. I learned how to ice climbing in Thunder Bay and spent a lot of my winters going out to practice my technique, I eventually got to know the different areas so well I got hired as an assistant instructor to help guide the students at Lakehead University to go ice climbing. The ice climb on the right is the first-ever WI3+ that I lead climbed.

Star Chek, BC

Aug 11, 2018

Star Chek is a classic 3 pitch climb in Squamish and was my very first multi-pitch. Fun fact I actually forgot my shoes the first time I completed it and had to do it barefoot, ever sense that experience I have been very diligent about checking a gear list before going out on big adventures I added this as one of my key highlights because it opened my eyes to the places climbing can take you and how free it can make you feel. I return to Star Chek once a summer and bring a new climber to give back the same experience that changed my life.
