Originally from Alberta (where the rolling hills were still a couple hours drive from the mountains) Dan eventually found a way of living nestled within them, here in Golden, BC. Not with lack of unconventional living situations, Dirtbag Climbing Corp. was born.
His young career already spans over 10 years of guiding and instructional experience through a variety of disciplines. Dirtbag Climbing Corp. has allowed Dan to focus more exclusively on the rock part for going on 5 years.
​
Through year round climbing related instruction, and a heavy focus on youth programming, Dan is a refined teacher and prides himself on finding ways to help anyone acquire more knowledge, refine skills, or investigate their deeper purpose and meaning through climbing.
When he's not on the rock, you can find him in the garden, the greenhouses or volunteering his time to multiple boards and programs around town. For more information on Dan, check out the History of Dirtbag.
