Dale Remsberg

Certified Rock, Alpine, and Ski Mountaineering Guide – UIAGM/IFMGA Licensed Guide

Since his first climb, Dale pushed himself. That climb, as a teenager wearing basketball shoes, was an unroped “scramble” of a classic multi-pitch 5.6. Seeing other climbers using ropes, he reasoned he’d better figure out “what was going on.” It didn’t take him long to get it right, as he’s subsequently become an extremely accomplished technical climber and guide. He started guiding in 1993 and today holds AMGA Rock, Alpine, and Ski Mountaineering certifications. He is an Internationally Licensed IFMGA Guide.

Dale’s focused, quiet and efficient demeanor appeals to those serious about their climbing. But his direct and knowledgeable approach doesn’t come at the expense of friendliness, sincerity and a smile. Dale’s high-end skills cover all disciplines of climbing; sport, trad, mixed, ice and alpine. He’s competed in the invitation-only Ouray Ice Festival, and his extensive climbing experience includes routes throughout the lower 48, Alaska, Canada, Peru, Ecuador and Spain.

Perhaps the mountains are in Dale’s blood; he was born in Winthrop, a small town in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. Before coming here, Dale worked for Cascade Alpine Guides, spending three years as lead guide on Mt. Rainier, and also guided for Mountain Madness and worked for five years as the head route setter and head instructor at the Vertical World gym in Seattle. But well before that, he got hooked on the mountains and the outdoors when he began ski racing at age 7.

As a senior instructional guide at the BRC, he oversees the technical and safety aspects of many programs, and for CMS he guides both locally and on expeditions worldwide, including Alaska, Peru, Mexico, Ecuador and Nepal.
