About Guy Cotter

UIAGM / IFMGA Mountain Guide My whole life has been spent in the mountains - in New Zealand, the Himalayas and many other mountain ranges around the world. I was born in southern New Zealand, I was introduced to the outdoors at an early age where a fascination for the mountains was fostered. I feel these days spent as a young explorer were a solid foundation for my future climbing career. My passion for the mountains eventually saw me focus on a career as a mountain guide where my skills earned me a position working alongside fellow Kiwis Rob Hall and Gary Ball when they established their Everest guiding company; Adventure Consultants in 1992. I excelled as a high altitude guide and, along with Rob and Gary, led the team to the summit that year on the first commercially guided expedition on Everest. In addition to guiding, my skills are in demand as a high altitude cameraman, running film projects in the Southern Alps (or on the Seven Summits), training corporate groups and meanwhile ensuring the list of exciting destinations for our clients is always growing! For me, the pleasure of the adventure business lies not in the financial rewards but rather in helping clients achieve their dreams.
