Ramiro Garrido

He began climb­ing in his home coun­try of Ecuador at the age of 11. Ramiro often spends his time climb­ing in the south­ern Andes of Peru and Bolivia when not in Ecuador. Among his notable ascents, he has climbed Aconcagua by the Pol­ish Glac­i­er Route, a vari­ety of climbs in the Alps, and Pumori in the Himalayas. As a jour­nal­ist he par­tic­u­lar­ly enjoys shar­ing with friends, fam­i­ly and acquain­tances, his two main pas­sions in life: moun­taineer­ing and out­door pho­tog­ra­phy. He has been guid­ing with Moun­tain Mad­ness since 2006 and brings the exper­tise of an IFMGA/ ASEGUIM cer­ti­fi­ca­tion to all his trips.
