Gavin Spilling

About me

Gavin grew up in the Adirondacks of New York. Having such beautiful wilderness in his backyard, he would hike during the Summers and ski during the Winters any chance he got. He found his passion for teaching others while working as a ski instructor for Whiteface Mountain during high school. He found climbing while studying outdoor education in Vermont. Whether it be rock or ice, Gavin enjoys the small things. The smiles along the way, learning a new knot, the breeze high above the trees. It's these things that keep him coming back in search of new experiences. Throughout his time in college, Gavin received a variety of certifications related to the outdoors. He is currently a Single Pitch Instructor and Apprentice Rock Guide through the AMGA, Wilderness First Responder, Leave No Trace level 2 Instructor, and AIARE 2 Certified. Gavin is also a candidate to be an Emergency Medical Technician. Through these certifications he is able to share his passion for the outdoors. Some of Gavin’s favorite climbing areas include Rumney, Cathedral Ledge, Acadia National Park and Red Rock. Gavin enjoys learning all there is about climbing and sharing that knowledge with clients, while helping them to explore new places and gain a new sense of adventure.
