John Chilton
Author of numerous alpine first ascents around the globe from China (Da Xue Shan) to the Yukons St. Elias range (Hubsew Pk., Mt. King George, Mt. Lidell) and the mountains of B.C. (Waddington range,Valhallas). First ascent of Southwest B.C.’s first grade 6 ice climb (Tres Burly’). But the discipline in which I push world standards is Ski Mountaineering with first descents of some of the steepest, remotest, and most committing alpine walls yet skied.
