Nickel Wood

Hailing from “My Old Kentucky Home” and residing in Lexington, Nickel lives with his wife and partner, Cara, and their two kids…a chocolate lab named Rubye and a tortoiseshell cat named Miriam (Midge). Nick says: Guiding found me in 2007 with a job in Skagway, AK, and since then, it has taken me to the top of four continents (North and South America, Africa, and Antarctica multiple times for each of those). I’ve also guided extensively on Mt. Rainier and in the North Cascades, and I spend time each year in the Tetons and New England. I love climbing ice and x-country skiing, and when I’m not working, I love listening to audiobooks and training with kettlebells or practicing yoga and tai chi.
