| Mark Wilford - Patagonia Alpine Ambasador |
 |
| Mark is considered one of the most proficient and diverse alpinist/rock climbers in the world. With more than 25 years of experience, he has accumulated a long resume of high bouldering, bold rock ascents, alpine solos, Alaskan climbs and Himalayan expeditions. Among his most notable climbs are the first American solo ascent of the Eiger North Face, a first ascent route on Nameless Tower, a winter solo of Long's Peak Diamond and first ascents in Alaska's Saint Elias Range with Barry Blanchard. Although he has participated in sport rock and ice-climbing events, Mark is considered a staunch traditionalist when it comes to the style and ethics of climbing. Mark recently pioneered a new route on Yamandaka, a previously unclimbed 21,000-foot peak in India's Karakoram. The route was put up in traditional alpine style, ascending 4,000 feet of highly technical terrain. |
