Nick Fuentes
Senior Guide I cut away from the career as a professional chef in San Antonio 4 years ago to pursue a life outside. Instantly fell in love with rock climbing and knew that there was finally a sport for me. It helps keep me balanced, fit, and brings on new travel opportunities. I'm passionate about instructing and enjoy educating others with safe practices, so I decided to get certified through the AMGA as a Single Pitch Instructor so that I could climb and guide full time.
