Some ice is here,  as of January 11th it is growing and improving slowly.

Make your reservations before it’s too late.

My Overnight Mountaineering courses at the

Mt Washington Observatory dates are here.

See the link at the top of page.

For over thirty-five  years

I have been a professional climbing guide.

Climbing has been my passion as well as my profession.

Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, Mountaineering,

it doesn’t matter. I love to climb. This is why I live in New England,

my climbing changes with the seasons. I am particular as to who I climb with.

If you want to check-off climbing on your list before you go shark hunting there are 

many guides out there for you. I am not one of them. 

If you want an inexpensive course I'm sure you can find one.

If you want experience and a professional then I'm available.

If you have a passion for the Mountains,

for rock climbing, ice climbing or mountaineering then I maybe the guide for you.

Even if you have never climbed but the thought of going high

has stirred something in you we can work together.

For thirty years I have guided and trained other climbing guides. For many years

I was the director of one of the largest climbing schools in the country.

I really tired of making sure all the new instructors “were up to speed”.

 I do not have and do not need a marketing department. I have experience and quantifiable credentials.

So now I have my own guiding service. When you hire me as your guide

       "You climb with Joe".

Ice Climbing: late December thru late March  
Mountaineering: early November thru Early April

Where I Climb

I am based out of Conway New Hampshire

and climb primarily in the White Mountains

(Cathedral Ledges, Whitehorse Ledges,

Mt Washington to name a few of the areas I work in).

I am available to guide in many other areas.
