Jason Edwards started his guiding career in the 1970’s, and has since guided successful ascents of many mountains around the world. Three of Jason's Himalayan expeditions were on Everest (North Col—1994 (Deputy Leader) & 1991 (Guide); both American Expeditions). In addition, Jason led the successful 1997 Canadian Everest Expedition (via the S Col) and placed both climbers on the summit of Everest along with four of our Sherpa staff.

These peaks include an attempt on Shishapangma, Mt. McKinley (8 expeditions with Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. since 1981), Mt. Rainier (270+ ascents, for RMI). He has also guided multiple expeditions to peaks in many other countries, including the Mexican Volcanoes, Bolivian peaks (several), Peru (including Alpamayo, Huascaran, and several others), Ecuador (many peaks), Argentina (Aconcagua), Africa (Kilimanjaro), and climbed peaks and walls in the United States, Canada and Nepal.

As a certified guide, Jason likes to focus on participant enjoyment and safety, which can be seen throughout the trips he organizes and leads. Rock climbing, ice climbing, hiking, skiing, and "working on the house" with his wife Jodie, round out Jason’s interest when around home, and keep him busy when not guiding in the mountains or planning future adventures. He also spends a lot of time keeping in touch with past participants from adventures he’s taken with them around the world.

Mountain Experience Everest Expedition will be a featured expedition on EverestNews.com in Spring 2001.
