THE BRENT SMITH! 🤩

Happiest of birthday wishes to our friend as he embarks on another year of life, full of adventures in the vertical world…and beyond!!?!

If you haven’t spent a day out with Brent…it’s time to change that! :) He is an ultra talented guide, phenomenal educator, wicked fast at rope systems, and a TRUE GEM 💎 of a human. We are inspired by the care and passion he brings to everything he does and look forward to so so so many more years of adventure.

Exploring Our Backyard

Ouray isn’t just a place, it’s an adventure waiting to be embraced by those passionate about the mountains.

Sharp, jagged peaks glitter and twinkle. They create.

Small veins of ice, stuck in a darkest corners leave doors open, just for a moment to free one’s soul.

Sun caps the range, skies blue holding our attention, but just long enough before we start our next adventure.

Ouray is where dreams meet passion.

💜Happiest of Birthdays to the one and only !
Along with being a continued partner of stoke and jokes over the years, he’s a passionate cat dad. Do we need to say more? 😻l

A friend to many, he’s a connector of the team, keeps the atmosphere calm. Here’s a bit more.

Jesse began rock climb­ing in 2002 while in col­lege in the southeast. Following graduation and wanting to climb in larger and colder environments, he maxed out his cred­it card on ice and ski gear before moving to Mon­tana where he learned to climb in the mountains through mistakes and luck. He’s since climbed and skied in a number of countries and across the US.

Currently based in western Colorado, Jesse guides mostly in CO, UT, and WA throughout the year. Known for his calm demeanor and terrible wit, he’s a fun person to learn from or spend the day going after a climbing objective.

A little-known secret is that Jesse is a strong all-around outdoor athlete, you would never know because he wouldn’t brag- so we’ll do it for him, but don’t let him serve you up too many days of humble pie! He is pursuing IFMGA certification.

Congratulations to for passing his Rock Guide Exam 🎉🥳

It has been a long time coming and it’s great to have grown right beside him for almost a decade now. This is a proud achievement and we could not be more happy for him. This process takes years of honing the craft of guiding by working in the field with you all and a dedication to keep pushing one’s own abilities in unison.

Here’s a bit more on Brent: a full-time climbing coach and guide, climbing plays an integral role in Brent’s life. Helping others find ongoing fulfillment through climbing is his highest priority. From building mental confidence to gaining physical strength to refining one’s technique, Brent approaches his work from a holistic perspective of getting your whole body and mind to work together for your best performance.

From coaching in the gym to achieving alpine summits, Brent meets his guests where they are in their climbing journey and helps them plan tangible steps to reach their goals. He truly embodies the mission of inspiring growth and exploration.

We can’t thank our team enough for what they do and are so happy to be able to support them.

Thanks for an awesome event!

Each of Smile’s team members embodies our core values of PASSION, PARTNERSHIP, PERSEVERANCE, and CREATIVITY.

We all have chosen a career as professional guides working in the field year-round. Because of this and because of our passion to be in the mountains personally, our guides also have significant time climbing and skiing in venues around the world.

This gives them a unique opportunity to not only educate but also inspire, relate to you, and work out the best experience for you.

Partnership: A connection of people whom inspire, motivate, and grow together.

Smile had a great weekend working with the to help build student skills for their Advanced Alpine Climbing School Program.

Our goal for this program was at its foundation, to have people come away with the understanding that easy terrain is consequential terrain and we should treat it as such.

This terrain is often solo-able but to do so, should be a deliberate choice and not a default in the mountains.

Giving students definitive tools to help protect the team in this terrain is a start, so that they can still be efficient and also safer in their mountain pursuits.
