Brian Shannon - Altus Mountain Guides

Brian Shannon

Brian grew up in Western Canada and has spent most of his life in the Coast Mountains, so he knows the Sea to Sky corridor from Squamish granite to the big alpine ridges. At Altus he guides across rock, alpine and ski terrain. He’s as comfortable coaching a first-time climber as he is pushing toward an ambitious objective. His favourite days are long ski traverses, endless ridgelines and splitter cracks. What keeps him guiding is the people: the moments on route when the effort, the view and the team all come together. Off the clock, he’s out with his dogs or deep in a book.
