CLINT HELANDER
Clint moved to Alaska in 2003 to attend college. A rowdy group of friends introduced him to ice climbing and mountaineering. After these formative years, Clint honed his skills and applied them to the remote mountains of Alaska. Since 2008, Clint has established many first ascents in the seldom visited Revelation Mountains, a group of jagged peaks at the southwest edge of the Alaska Range. He combines his climbing with his other passions, photography and writing, to craft powerful imagery and stories that have appeared in countless publications. He is most proud of his eight-day first ascent of Mount Huntington’s complete south ridge in 2017 with Jess Roskelley.

JORDAN REVIS
Jordan is an avid outdoors person who grew up in a small town in Connecticut. He started very young with skiing, quickly moving into snowboarding, as that was the rad thing to do back in the day, and was introduced to rock climbing at his local YMCA day camp. Since then, those two sports have been his main passion.
He moved to Waltham, MA in August of 2021 from CT. Initially, he was not very involved in the New England climbing community, but the more time spent at the gym, the more he realized how vast the community was. The only thing, it was very white. It seemed strange that the diversity of the Boston area seemed to not be reflected in the climbing community. This was even more apparent the more days he spent out in Rumney and attended festivals in the area.


He joined the Western Mass Climbers Coalition and became vice chair of the JDEI Committee. He then joined the Appalachian Mountain Club, became an assistant within the local chapters rock program, and helped put together BIPOC climbing events in New England. The issue was it was still just him. Even with all these initiatives why was there still not a lot of representation? Are there people within the BIPOC community who may not be comfortable learning from someone who is white? Could this be the barrier? So he searched for mountain guides, leaders, professionals of African descent in the climbing community of New England. To his dismay, there are none. Could this be it? Could this be the reason the climbing community of New England isn't diverse?
How could we expect those to want to be a part of our community when there isn’t even a leader or professional who looks like them and can be a mentor?
This is why he wants to embark on a journey to become a mountain guide. To show that we as a climbing community do welcome all and we do elevate those that have been historically undeserved.

STEFAN HADEED
Passion for expression and movement has always been the driving force in Stefan's life. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Stefan found meaning in kicking and pushing around on his skateboard as well as writing music. In his teens his love for movement and expression took root in the mountains and has failed to waiver since. First starting to climb at Smith Rock, his love for the sport quickly grew to develop every aspect from sport climbing to alpine walls. Now a full time guide he spends his time not only pursuing his own goals but guiding people through theirs as well.

KYLIE FLY
Kylie grew up in a little farm town called Caldwell, Idaho. She is an identical triplet and travels for a living as a professional adventure photographer. She is based out of Salt Lake City, Utah and has a pup named Griz (who looks exactly like a grizzly bear) and a Sprinter named Smokey.
What was your first climbing experience?
My first climbing experience outdoors was in the Tetons on Disappointment Peak. It was far from disappointing, and I knew I'd be in this for the long haul. Multi-pitch climbing absolutely terrified me in the best way possible.
What is your favorite type of climbing?
Trad and alpine. I'll climb anything and have a good time, but the aspect of the long approaches and multi-faceted adventure keeps my stoke high. My all-time favorite climb is Soulfire in Indian Creek.
Any style of climbing that you particularly dislike?
I don't boulder. When I'm outside I'd just prefer to be on a rope.


Where are your favorite areas to climb?
Indian Creek, the Eastern Sierras, Washington Cascades, Tetons, Squamish, Wind River Range and my home state City of Rocks.
Tell us about your all-time favorite climb:
Sleeping on the top of the Southwest Rib in Washington Pass was one of my all-time favorite climbs. Nothing too terrifying, lots of smiles and laughs, and beautiful exposure. We slept on the summit and enjoyed a fun descent. I also love anything on the Grand, as that's a classic climb and a beautiful walk.
Why do you climb / spend time outdoors?
I try hard at a lot of things in life, and climbing always feels hard. There's something about building that grit while also having fun that keeps me coming back.
What other hobbies/interests or passions do you have?
Skiing, mountaineering, backpacking, boating, fly fishing, paragliding, and mountain biking. Anything that gets my body moving up and through mountains is fun for me.
What or who inspires you?
I am inspired by people who live their lives from a place of love, rather than fear. It doesn't even matter what they're doing or who they are, but instead how they approach life. It's a mindset I admire the most, and any one of us can achieve it.
Tell us about your dream day:
My dream day would be Multi-adventure day: climb up a mountain on skis, fly off the top, then go rock climbing and eat a giant Dominos pizza.
