mountain guide
Peak climbing leader
A mountain guide is a professional who leads climbers and hikers through mountainous terrain, providing expertise in route-finding, safety, and technique.
Mountain guides typically hold certifications and know their regions intimately—the weather patterns, hazards, and best paths up.
We hired a mountain guide for the ascent of Mont Blanc.
