Bio: I've been climbing for over 30 years. I started guiding in 2005 and work over 200 days a year here in the Gunks as well as in the Dacks, White Mountains, Colorado Front Range and Red Rocks. I'm a Single Pitch Instructor Provider and run 6-10 courses and exams each year. In winter I guide ice and work as a professional ski patroller. I worked for Alpine Endeavors for over ten years before starting my own business called Vitti Mountain Guides. I'm a certified Rock Guide, Rock Instructor, Single Pitched Instructor, SPI Provider and have taken the AMGA Ice Instructor Course. I am a LNT Master Educator and have volunteered on my local ambulance squad as an EMT for the last nine years. I live in High Falls on the back side of the Shawangunk Ridge with my wife, two teenage children, dog Lola, two cats and twenty three chickens.
