Clint F. Cook - IFMGA/AMGA Certified Mountain Guide

With over 20 years experience teaching ice climbing, I specialize in coaching climbers of all abilities and experience levels to hone their technique, challenge themselves on wild climbs, and embrace the stark frozen winter vertiscape.

As with the Mobius Strip, one seemingly minor twist in normal perception or understanding of life can usher in numerous additional interpretations comprising and reshaping our individual world views. When we change, our reality changes.

Mobius Mountaineering was founded to provide professional, personalized guidance in the Art of Alpinism. TRUST is paramount in any mountain partnership. I strive to connect the key principles of COURAGE and DISCIPLINE to offer my guests the highest professional standard.

Discipline

“The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human.”

- Victor Hugo

Courage

“Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are naught without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.”

- Edward Whymper
