APEX MOUNTAIN SCHOOL GUIDE

Chris Berdoulay

Chris Berdoulay has been a longtime guide at Apex Mountain School. He loves spending time with his family, is an active volunteer with Vail Mountain Rescue Group and works on the ambulance crew. Traveling has led him to hike and climb internationally. This lets Chris learn about other cultures.

Italian food is his favorite! He has done charity work for Salvation Army. His favorite story in the mountains is from his first multi-pitch climb. During the descent a rope got stuck after the sun had gone down.
