Sean Isaac
Sean Isaac pursues the adventure and exploration aspect of climbing with a passion for new routes and travelling the world. He has completed 14 major mountain expeditions in the past 9 years forging new routes up remote and obscure alpine peaks in all corners of the globe, including Patagonia, Kyrgyzstan, Alaska, Northwest Territories, Peru and Pakistan.
In Patagonia, he has 4 summits to his credit including a winter ascent of Guillaumet in the Fitz Roy region of Argentina with Will Mayo and the first ascent of the often tried, 800-meter east pillar of Cerro Mascara in Torres del Paine of Chile with Conny Amelunxen. The later required 19 days of climbing with 14 of these days spent living on the wall enduring constant storms.
He has been on three expeditions in the ex-Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan resulting in 9 alpine ascents; 7 of which were new routes, 5 of which topped out on unclimbed peaks.
In the world-famous Bugaboo range of British Columbia, Sean has established 6 new routes, including the hard mixed line of Spinstone Gully (TD+ M7 R) with Scott Semple, which was runner-up in Climbing magazine's "Golden Piton Award".
He lives in Canmore, Alberta in the Canadian Rockies with his wife, Hermien Schuttenbeld, and their sons, Noah and Mica
