Austin began climbing after moving to Boone, NC to pursue a degree in Outdoor Recreation Management. Throughout his time at Appalachian State University, Austin’s love for climbing grew exponentially as he made trips throughout the Southeast and out West during school breaks. He has worked as a climbing guide and activity specialist for various camps in Western North Carolina, Wyoming, and Switzerland. Combining his love of travel and climbing, Austin has gone as far as Utah, Wyoming, Squamish, and even Thailand in search of climbing adventures.

Following his graduation from Appalachian State University, Austin decided to pursue a career in guiding. He completed the first step after receiving his Single Pitch Instructor certification through the American Mountain Guides Association. As he works toward taking the AMGA Rock Guide Course, you can find Austin smiling on a rock somewhere in Western North Carolina.
