2020 Year in Review, Work

Teton Time. Middle Teton, S summit. August 2020.

• 107 days of field guiding

• 38 trips had a specific goal (peak or route) in mind. Of those, we made the summit or completed the route 33 times. That's a "sending percentage" of 87%. 

• 32 days of Alpine guiding

• 5 days of Ice guiding

• 25 days of Rock guiding

• 45 days of ski guiding. Notably, for the first time since 2008, I did not teach a single avalanche course in 2020. Past years all include at least a few days of ski guiding that was actually on an avalanche course.

• 98 days as an employee of another company

• 9 days working for my own company

• 87 days were with returning clients or clients that came directly to me in some fashion. 

• 96 days I worked in the field largely or entirely without a co guide

• 11 days I worked directly with at least one other co guide

• 13 nights in a tent in the wilderness

• 35 nights away from home in other accommodations, for work
