Jesse Ramos

Jesse Ramos’s appetite for rock, ice, and alpine climbing has taken him all over the world. Whether in his own backyard of the Colorado Rockies or on a journey in the middle of the Andes, he continues to discover the blessings of the mountains and explore distant cultures.

Originally from Boulder, Colorado, Jesse started technical climbing in the craggy, glaciated terrain of the Pacific Northwest, where he was formally trained in crevasse rescue, technical rock and alpine climbing. Soon after, Jesse was employed by Olympic College in Washington, to teach, lead, and instruct the crevasse rescue course on the Nisqually Glacier in Mount Rainier National Park.

Jesse is an AMGA Rock Guide and Wilderness First Responder. He has summited Cerro Aconcagua and Mt Rainier via a variety of routes but he always finds himself back on the clean white granite of the Bugaboo Spires in British Columbia. Whether he’s on an international expedition or swinging ice tools at his local ice crag in Colorado, Jesse is content sharing the joys and challenges with whoever is willing to join him.
