Nate Emerson

A year-round mountain professional from Madison, Wisconsin, Nate began working with AMS in 2014, guiding custom and scheduled Denali expeditions and teaching Alaska Range mountaineering courses. Nate’s guiding career started in 2004, and he has been climbing since 1994. Nate is based in Boulder and Aspen, Colorado, and when not in Alaska, he mainly guides in Wyoming, Colorado, Washington, and Las Vegas’s Red Rocks and internationally on Argentina’s Aconcagua. Come winter, he works as a Diamond Ski Pro and resort trainer at Aspen Highland. He holds a strong commitment to training, from which he has been able to climb 5.13; win a 100-mile ultramarathon; and ascended Aconcagua’s Polish Direct in a week without mules. Most of his best outdoor days are spent with his son, fishing, skiing, or climbing.
