Meet the Guides | Peter Doucette

- B.S. in Education from the University of Maine, Orono

My strengths as a climber are the ice and mountaineering disciplines, though I welcome the weather and minimal equipment that often accompany rock climbing. Long Routes of an alpine nature are what I pursue.

Climbing is a thread that runs through many aspects of my life, personal and professional. For me, good days out in the mountains, working or playing, are difficult to beat.

Guiding, I make a point to set clients up for success. Many individuals have said I've made challenging climbs far more accessible than they ever imagined. There are many techniques that can make your climbing and objectives more enjoyable and attainable. Helping you realize your potential as a climber, and working to manage the challenges that present themselves during a day out, are what keep me energized as a guide and teacher.

I am currently working toward full UIAGM/IFMGA Certification.
