Ice Climbing Basics Course

Gerrit Egnew

IFMGA Aspirant

English, German

My name is Gerrit Egnew, and I am an aspirant in the Swiss guide scheme (SBV), based in the Berner Oberland. I am originally from Idaho, in the US, and have been in the Alps for about six years. I have spent a lot of time in the mountains of Switzerland, but also in Chamonix, the Dolomites, and further afield in Alaska, Norway, Canada, and the USA. I speak fluent English and German and can also communicate a bit in French. As a guide, I enjoy all mountain activites, but I am particularly passionate about mixed climbing.
