The most important service Summit Coach provides
is ongoing conversations
to explore your climb and preparation.

  • For non-US clients, we use Facetime, Zoom, Skype, or WhatsApp for engagement.
  • 10% of the fee is donated to Alzheimer’s nonprofits for caregiver and research support.

Other Options

  • Monthly (4 hours total per month/3 month minimum): $300 per month.
  • Hourly (2-hour minimum) at $150 per hour.

Who is this for?

Motivated individuals seeking to arrive at their mountain fully prepared, informed, and enabled to perform at their maximum physical and mental potential. With expeditions now costing from $8,000 to $80,000, it’s a smart investment to enable you to do your best on your climb. If any of these points fit your situation, you may benefit from Summit Coach:

  • Not pleased with your experience on a recent climb
  • Want to climb a 7,000 or 8,000-meter peak but are not sure where to start
  • Unsure of how to find the best gear at the best price
  • How to get your family on the same page to support your ambitions
  • Want to be in the best shape possible for your climb but unsure how to start
  • All guide services seem similar, and you are not sure who you can trust
  • Is the lowest price guide service safe?
