David Ellison

ACMG Rock Guide, ACMG Ski Guide

Dave discovered climbing while living in the small, climbing focused town, Field BC. Eventually out-growing Field, Dave moved to Squamish three years ago and has been busy sending all of the classics. Not limited to Squamish though, Dave has climbed hard routes in China, Japan, and the Western United States. Some of Dave’s favourite climbing memories include on-sighting The Rostrum (5.11 c ) during his first trip to Yosemite, as well as putting up the classic Kyle’s Corner (5.10 +) in Indian Creek. Our guests really enjoy climbing with Dave, as he provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere, safely taking them to new heights that they thought they couldn’t achieve.
