Mountain
Madness - Mountain Madness hires guides proficient in all
mediums of mountaineering. We require professionalism and strict
adherence to our guidelines in relation to safety, client care, and
permit requirements set forth by the federal government. In addition
to technical expertise, the personality of the candidate and their
ability to teach and communicate with the client will have an
essential role in the selection process. Mountain Madness has two
levels of responsibility for field staff: assistant guide and lead
guide. Typically, an individual will work over 140 guiding days
before being considered as a lead guide. As an assistant guide one
must have continued good client evaluation and have flawless
recommendations from lead guides before being considered for
promotion to lead guide. In addition to the above, a lead or
assistant guide must have Wilderness First Responder, or equivalent
and needs previous experience or training as a lead guide on the
terrain on which they would be operating. After demonstrating
competence, judgment, safety awareness, in addition to the
conditions laid out, he/she will then be considered for promotion to
the next level. This process assures highly competent, skilled and
experienced field staff at all levels.
