MEET OUR GUIDES

JOSHUA JARRíN, IFMGA

Joshua was born in Ecuador where he started to enjoy the mountains at the age of 10. The desire to spend some good time with friends on the mountains has taken him all around the world. He has been fortunate enough to climb along the Andes, in North America and the Himalaya, as well as guiding in Europe. When he decided to become a mountain guide, there was no international training in his country. It took him seven years of efforts at all levels, including travels to Bolivia, France and Argentina until he achieved the IFMGA diploma. Later in his career, his colleagues elected him technical director of the ASEGUIM (Ecuador Mountain Guide’s Association) and they were able to bring the international training to Ecuador and therefore give access to that recognition to the future generations of aspiring guides. Nowadays he lives in the US where he serves as instructor for the AMGA (American Mountain Guide’s Association). Joshua tries to use his position to serve as a mentor for future mountains guides, especially those who come from BIPOC populations.

JOSUE DE LUNA NAVARRO, SPI & APPRENTICE ALPINE GUIDE

Josue was born in Torreon, Coahuila Mexico – New Mexico became his home at the age of 10. The struggles his family & community faced motivated him to get involved in community organizing for immigrant, racial and climate justice. Since the day Josue migrated and took his first glance towards the snowy mountain ranges of northern New Mexico, the mountains became his refuge. The mountains became a sacred place where he could reclaim his humanity. He enjoys rock climbing in the alpine, trail running and splitboarding. He serves as the Land Base & Outdoor Director for The Semilla Project – a local non-profit center for transformation for BIPOC youth. He holds an AMGA Single Pitch Instructor Certification, Wilderness First Responder, an Avalanche Professional and an Apprentice Alpine Guide.
