Simon Frez-Albrecht

Coming to AMS in 2015 as an intern from Alaska Pacific University (APU), Simon is a go-to guide for Denali expeditions and mountaineering courses. Simon’s level of commitment to climbing and guiding is evident in his extensive contributions to the community. Along with his passion for instruction, Simon developed a 60-page curriculum handbook and instructor’s resource for the Climbing Systems course at APU. Based in Southcentral Alaska, Simon spends much of his free time exploring Alaska’s remote backcountry, including extended trips to White Princess Peak and Mt. Thor and ascents of the Keystone Greensteps in Valdez and the SW face of Mt. Dan Beard in the Alaska Range. Beyond Alaska, he has ice and rock climbed in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, New Hampshire, Utah, Washington, and British Columbia.
