Ryan Huetter grew up near the coastal tidewaters of the Puget Sound in Washington State, but has since traded moss and rain for the sunshine and splitter cracks of the Sierra Nevada. Since graduating from Western Washington University in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Adventure Management, Ryan has called the Sierra home. Beginning with leading extended backcountry mountaineering and backpacking trips for the Outward Bound School all over the range, he finally settled down in Mammoth Lakes to enjoy the unbelievable skiing and climbing the Eastside is famous for.
Ryan’s
passion for climbing has taken him around the world, from Yosemite Valley where
he has climbed more than 15 big walls including a 9 day ascent of Tribal Rite
(5.10 A4), to 6 consecutive seasons in Patagonia where he has made many major
ascents including Monte Fitz Roy and first ascents of remote alpine
walls.
But year
after year, the Sierra Nevada remains Ryan’s base, and he loves introducing
people to the Range of Light. Ryan’s favorite Sierra climb is definitely
the Third Pillar of Dana, of course coupled with fish tacos from the Mobil
Station.
