Brian Shelton: Lead Guide

Brian has been climbing since he was 15 years old and professionally guiding for 7 yeas. His experience has been gained in the vertical world of Devils Tower, Yosemite's big walls and the remote sandstone towers of Utah's desert. His knowledge of regional climbing areas is unrivaled. In fact, Brian was a key contributor in establishing routes for the Red Rocks Open Space in Colorado Springs. Because of his judgment and technical knowledge, clients keep coming back because of the philosophy "safety first, summit second.

He loves guiding because it gives him a chance to share something with others that has been meaningful to him. "There is a world of climbing out there that most people aren't aware of. I love the chance to open people up to it, to teach them skills and offer them adventures of their own."
