Curtis Green

Curtis has been working with AMS since 2014 and guides on Denali, teaches courses, and leads technical climbs and film production assignments. He began guiding in 1980, working with Northwest Outward Bound School in the North Cascade. He also spent three years working in the backcountry of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness for the Forest Service. Climbing since he was in his teens allowed for quick growth into bigger climbs within the North Cascades and along the West Coast of the US, from Joshua Tree in winter to the Sierras in summer. Over the years, Curtis has accomplished many free climbs and walls in Yosemite, on the south face of Argentina’s Aconcagua, and on Mount Cook in New Zealand. Curtis has worked on a variety of projects, including a longtime Grand Canyon raft guide, construction, start-up companies, and as a remote field safety manger in Oman. When climbing with Curtis, people draw from his quiet confidence, strength, and extraordinary depth of mountain knowledge.
