Kai Girard
Guide
Following his discovery of climbing and guiding in college, Kai spent a decade seeking expeditions and work globally before coming to AMS in 2015. Along with instructing mountaineering courses and guiding Denali expeditions for the school, Kai has worked with Outward Bound, NOLS, and many other international operations. When not guiding or instructing, Kai finds adventure all around the world. From using a bamboo raft in China, to climbing in Wadi Rum, Jordan, or even getting stormed off the Northern Ice Cap in Patagonia, Kai finds joy in exploring the outdoors.
