James Klaers AMGA
AMGA Single Pitch Instructor
City: Broomfield
Province: CO
Bio: I have been living, exploring, and playing in the Colorado mountains since 2002. I called Leadville home from 2010 - 2021 and now split my time between Boulder and Leadville. I currently work for the Colorado Outward Bound School as a Senior Instructor and Trainer, guide with Denver Mountain Guiding, and am an Adjunct Faculty with Colorado Mountain College in Leadville. I spend roughly 200 - 250 days outside between guiding and personal trips. My main activities include rock climbing, ice climbing, splitboard touring and ski mountaineering, backpacking and trail running. I appreciate conscientious safety and having fun with most anything in life.
