Santiago has traveled extensively in 5 continents chasing adventures and perfect climbs. He is a former graduate of the adventure guiding and management degree at Thompson Rivers University in BC, Canada where he formed himself as a guide in various adventure disciplines, from climbing, to sea kayaking, rafting, rope rescue and ice climbing. He is a WFR certified, ASEGUIM / IFMGA mountain guide, and lead instructor for the Colorado Outward Bound School. When he is not hanging on ropes you can usually find him with camera-on-hand hunting for good light.
