Sean Easton- Owner/Guide
As the owner of Rockies Ice Specialists, I will be your first contact to answer your queries and help you plan a successful trip.
There are many reasons people love climbing. I climb for the challenge, the sense of adventure, to experience the magnificence of nature, to share good times with good people, and for the plain fun of it. As a full Alpine Guide I am fortunate to have found an occupation that lets me indulge my passion for climbing and the outdoors. Guiding allows me to introduce people to the wonder of journeying to amazing places that they would not have ventured to on their own. This is accomplished with supportive guidance tailored to your pace.
I am experienced guiding throughout the mountains of the world, with several South American expeditions and European guiding seasons behind me. My summers are now based out of Western Canada, but come winter I always heed the call of Rockies Ice.
