Mark Falender

Mark’s passion for climbing, skiing, and exploring the mountains began in Colorado and quickly expanded throughout Western US, Alaska, South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Mark began guiding while completing a Geography degree at the University of Colorado. Since then, the days without either climbing shoes or ski boots on have been few and far between. Mark is an IFMGA/AMGA Mountain Guide, as well as an AIARE-qualified Course Leader, an American Avalanche Association Certified Instructor, and a Paramedic.
