Cheyenne’s passion for the mountains and climbing runs deep, shaped by his childhood exploring the rugged terrain of New England. He first learned to rock climb behind the Dartmouth Skiway in New Hampshire, which sparked a lifelong commitment to the outdoors. After high school, Cheyenne attended Colorado Mountain College, where he trained to become a professional mountain guide. Over the years, he has guided in renowned climbing destinations, including the Needles of South Dakota, Devils Tower in Wyoming, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where he also taught as an instructor at Colorado Mountain College.

His guiding philosophy centers on safety, skill development, and fostering a genuine connection to the natural world. Cheyenne is based in North Conway, NH, during the winter months and Jackson Hole, WY in the Summer. He brings a positive, enthusiastic approach to every climb. Known for his infectious passion for the outdoors, he is always eager to share new experiences and, of course, hear a good joke.
