DANIEL JOHNSON

AMGA CERTIFIED ROCK GUIDE // SINGLE PITCH INSTRUCTOR // WFR // GSG Guide

Daniel Johnson was born in Virginia but calls North Carolina home. He began rock climbing in college but has always had a passion for outdoor adventure, whether that looked like his roaming through the densely forested countryside of Virginia’s Piedmont or pulling heavy loads up Denali. Daniel’s career in the Navy took him to Washington State for a few years where he fell in love with rock climbing and shows no signs of divorce any time soon.

Gaining his SPI in 2017, Daniel guided part-time in Washington and Southern California. Separating from the Navy in April of 2021, Daniel has guided full-time since then and absolutely loves the connections it inspires, the teaching moments, and the outdoor classroom that it provides.  

Daniel loves sharing his passion with others and facilitating the space for them to achieve their goals — both on the rock and off.

Daniel is an AMGA Certified Rock Guide, Single Pitch Instructor, Wilderness First Responder, and IRATA/SPRAT Level I Rope Access Technician.
