I can’t help myself but throw this up here. Indian Creek is amazing. As I recently lost my camera, my photographic haul of my desert adventures is depressingly weak, but here’s one at least, and in a way it sums it all up. No, it’s not my favourite route I did in the Creek. No, it’s not the hardest or the best, but it is S-P-L-I-T-T-E-R. Man is it splitter. And it’s only 5.10. Luxury Liner, or as it’s more commonly known, Supercrack of the Desert. Man. That’s good. I think my favorite leads from the trip have to be Fingers in a Lightsocket [5.11+], Layaway Plan [5.11+] and Puma [5.12-], but I don’t have any pictures of those. Only memories and a few gobies…
Christopher Wright
My name is Chris Wright and I'm a mountain guide. My short story is that I was born in the UK, grew up in Pennsylvania and live and work year-round as a mountain guide and avalanche educator in Oregon, Alaska, Colorado and points elsewhere. I'm a member of the American Mountain Guides Association, and am a Certified Rock Guide as well as an Alpine Guide Aspirant. I guide mostly technical alpine and rock climbing, with the occasional expedition and ski trip thrown in there. I'm AIARE Level III Certified and instruct AIARE Level I avalanche courses as well.
In the spring I work in Alaska with the Alaska Mountaineering School, in the summer and fall I live in Bend and work for Timberline Mountain Guides, and in the winter you can most likely find me on Orizaba or in Ouray.
At almost all times you can find me with a pack, a rack and a rope pretty close by.
You can check out photos from all of my trips at the Zenfolio link below, and shoot me an email at chris@timberlinemtguides.com if you're interested in putting together a trip to climb in the Oregon Cascades, Washington's North Cascades, Ouray and Silverton ice climbing, or Mexico and Ecuador's volcanos.
