They are the San Juan experts -- and take that expertise around the world. I've been climbing and skiing with SJMG for several years now, both locally in the Ouray/Telluride/Silverton areas and in the Alaska range. They always put together great programs and have incredibly professional and personable guides. I've worked with many of their guides but have spent the most time with Andres Marin, one of their lead guides. Just this month Andres and I linked up Bridal Veil Falls and Ames Ice Hose in a single, long day. Either one of those climbs is a true San Juans classic, so having a guide with the ability and psyche to tackle both in the same day is a true win.

SJMG isn't just for folks looking for huge adventures in the mountains. They are very experienced at working with skiers and climbers of all skill levels. I can attest to that from experience: they helped me build up from a beginner level and have helped a number of my friends.

Lastly, SJMG are very active in giving back to the their community, both the local Ouray community and the broader climbing community. They do a ton of work to support the Ouray Ice Park and safe backcountry climbing and sking in the San Juans, among other efforts.

Whatever your goals are in the mountain, San Juan Mountain Guides is a great place to work with. Don't forget to have fun!
