Gearys Guiding

My name is Alex Geary and I'm an ACMG/IFMGA Mountain Guide based in Revelstoke, BC. I love sharing adventures in the mountains with motivated people in all seasons including ski touring, mountaineering, rock and ice climbing.

I grew up in Australia skiing, hiking and scrambling around the "mountains" there, before moving to Whistler to work as a ski instructor when I was 19 years old. My first time skiing in Canada was a 3 day ski mountaineering trip to attempt Mt Fissile, as my roommate Joerg and I couldn't wait for the ski area to open. This got me hooked, and since then I've tried to spend as much time as possible climbing and skiing in the mountains all over the world including Europe, Alaska, New Zealand, Thailand, and South America.

I started my guiding career in 2006, cat-skiing in the Chilean Andes. Since then I've been guiding all sorts of climbing and ski touring, which is what I love to do most. I used to work as an ISIA certified ski instructor, and I've also guided heli-skiing, worked as a Public Avalanche Forecaster, Ski Patrol Manager (including running an avalanche control program using explosives), and a Mountain Safety Specialist for the mining industry. Before guiding I was a Mechanical Engineer, which helped convince me to spend my life in the mountains.

During the winters I've been guiding ski touring full-time since 2009, and the rest of the year I guide climbing and mountaineering in various locations around Canada.

If you need a guide to show you around Revelstoke or further afield, please let me know and I will look forward to meeting you and another great adventure!
