CHAD MARTIN

AMGA APPRENTICE ROCK & ALPINE GUIDE // SPI // WFR // GSG Guide

Chad was born and raised in Southern California.  At 18, he moved to Oregon for a BS in psychology, and during that time found amazing outdoor places and activities in the Pacific Northwest.  From there Chad worked in the zipline industry living in Alaska, upstate New York, and then in North Carolina.  After that, he worked as an arborist in Colorado until returning to California in 2017.  For the past 15 years, Chad has been fortunate to climb and explore all around the places he has lived. He is passionate about climbing, sharing in the adventure of it, and plans on chasing peaks well into his 80’s.

When Chad is not out climbing you might find him running up Mount San Jacinto, playing with his nieces and nephews, training, splitboarding, or working on his property in Virginia Lakes.
