"Out
of all the people I've climbed with
over the years around the world,
my experience climbing ice with Ian
has been one of the most memorable
in my life. Not only is he one of
the strongest, fastest and most efficient
climbers I've met, but also gracious
and a blast to spend time with. I
can't wait to climb with Ian again."
- Erik Weihenmayer, Golden, Colorado, first blind climber to summit Mt. Everest.
“My first climbing experience was with Adirondack Mountain Guides and Ian Osteyee. Under Ian’s skillful training I was lead climbing 5.8 multi pitch Rock routes by the end of my first summer. I have since had numerous experiences with other guides from other areas and I can confidently say that Ian represents the epitome of the professional mountain guide. I now climb with other partners, but still enjoy climbing ice and rock with Ian whenever I can.”
