Replying to Any advice on how to find an AMGA mentor?
I wish I could post this on AMGA's website cause Newschoolers isn't exactly mountain guide central :/
Anyway, I'm beginning my AMGA certifications and at completion of my Pro Level 1 avalanche course I was advised to find a mentor. And I think I should.
Anyone happen to have advice on how to find one in Utah? There wasn't any annual or regional AMGA meetings this year so I couldn't network at those. So I'm looking for a new way to reach out to someone and ask if I can shadow here and there on some more technical tours.
My weakness is technical climbing skills. So I'd even be down to shadow and do some climbs with an Alpine or Rock Guide. I am getting my Ski Guide cert, so that's what I want to focus on but know I need to refine my rusty climbing skills.
Thanks!
