Chris Berryman, Climbing
Chris Berryman began mountain climbing in 1979 on Mt. Rainier. Now hooked on the sport, he's added to his experience Mt. Baker, Mt. Adams, Mt. Olympus, Mt. St. Helens, and numerous other climbs including mountains in California and Alaska. He has been a rope leader and an instructor for the Mountaineers organization. Chris has also been involved in avalanche training courses and is well-trained in back country first aid procedures. He and Ken Capron lead our "Climb Volcanoes" series as well as Basic Mountaineering classes and Winter Survival Skills classes. Chris had this to say about his love of teaching:
"I enjoy watching students gain confidence through the new skills they have learned in our class, and then see them put it all together on a mountain.These students are brave enough to assess their current skills, overcome any fears of trying something new, and work hard to achieve new goals. They inspire me to do the same!"
