Brian Shelton: Lead Guide
Brian has been climbing since he was 15 years old and professionally
guiding for 7 years. His experience has been gained in the vertical world of Devils Tower,
Yosemite's big walls and the remote sandstone towers of Utah's desert. His knowledge of
regional climbing areas is unrivaled. In fact, Brian was a key contributor in establishing
routes for the Red Rocks Open Space in Colorado Springs. Because of his judgment and
technical knowledge, clients keep coming back because of the philosophy "safety first,
summit second.
He loves guiding because it gives him a chance to share something with
others that has been meaningful to him. "There is a world of climbing out
there that most people aren't aware of. I love the chance to open people up to
it, to teach them skills and offer them adventures of their own." Always involved with
the local community, Brian was a key contributor in establishing routes for
Red Rock Canyon
Open space.
