Keith Moon
About me
Keith's journey from the Midwest to becoming an IFMGA-certified mountain guide is a compelling story of passion and dedication. Growing up in a region with limited climbing opportunities, he faced the unique challenge of developing his skills through patience and self-reflection. This foundational experience fostered a deep sense of resilience and a thoughtful approach to the mountains. His introduction to the possibility of a career in the outdoors at 13 through the Outward Bound program was a pivotal moment. Despite his early start in guiding—before he could even order a beer—Keith's commitment to the profession is evident. Living year-round in New Hampshire with his family, he integrates his love for the mountains into his everyday life. Keith’s enthusiasm for sharing his expertise and witnessing his clients’ achievements is a clear testament to his dedication. Earning his IFMGA guides license in March 2024 represents a significant milestone, underscoring his extensive experience and unwavering commitment to professional excellence in mountain guiding.Certifications

I had an unforgettable ice climbing adventure with Keith and Pete as our guides! Over two days, they not only taught us the essential climbing techniques but also made sure the experience was thrilling and fun every step of the way. Their expertise and enthusiasm were contagious, and they took the time to build our confidence while pushing us to improve our skills. The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole adventure felt safe, exciting, and well-paced. Highly recommend these guys if you're looking to try ice climbing or advance your skills! #IceClimbing #AdventureAwaits #ClimbingLife #OutdoorSkills #EpicAdventure #KeithAndPete #ClimbWithTheBest #WinterWonderland #vertexmountainguides
