Craig John

Craig John started climbing in the Cascade Range in Washington State over 40 years ago. He spent a few years looking at the mountains from a distance and then decided he wanted to find out what they had to offer. He found that in the mountains, he gets a deep satisfaction that is spiritual, mental and physical. He enjoyed the experiences climbing so much that he sought ways to help others find that same sense of satisfaction and adventure.

In 1987 Craig started working for Rainier Mountaineering and International Mountain Guides. In 1999 he started working during the winter for IMCS. He has been lucky to travel all over the world climbing and guiding. With 219 ascents of Mt. Rainier and over 60 high altitude expeditions to Alaska, the Himalaya, Andes, Africa and beyond, he still gets that same sense of satisfaction and purpose as he did over 40 years ago.

His goal is to help others achieve goals they once thought impossible.
