About Garrett
Garrett Madison began guiding professionally in 1999 on Mount Rainier, and is now America’s premier Everest climber and guide. As Expedition Leader, he has personally lead 37 climbers to the summit of Everest over the last 7 years, more than any other American. In 2011, Garrett led the first expedition in history where climbers succeeded in the Everest – Lhotse combination, reaching the summit of two 8000 meter peaks in less than 24 hours (while personally guiding one climber peak to peak in 21 hours), and again repeated this “double header” in 2013. Garrett is currently the only climber in the world to repeat this “peak to peak” combination, and holds the record for guiding climbers (4) in this endeavor. In 2014, Garrett led the first ever successfully ‘guided’ ascent of K2, arguably the hardest and most dangerous mountain in the world, reaching the summit with 2 climbers and 3 Sherpas on July 27, 2014. Garrett also regularly guides many “7 Summits” expeditions such as Aconcagua, Vinson, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, etc., during the year. In addition, Garrett is regularly involved with film productions on Everest, participating in 4 different features over the last 3 years.

Heading home from #Everest I’m thankful for the people and equipment that make it all possible to visit these magical places. .
One item that stands out is the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hooded Jacket, an essential piece for myself, my climbers, and our Sherpa team. Since 2016 all of the @madisonmtng Everest, #K2, and #Vinson teams have chosen to wear this as our ‘go to’ jacket, because it’s the best all around performer out there. .
It’s my jacket of choice because it’s so versatile: lightweight, warm and comfortable. Thanks @mountainhardwear !! Photos @jess_talley , @eliasaikaly

Time to say goodbye to Mount Everest, see you again in spring 2020! The @madisonmtng and @mhweverest2019 teams came fully prepared to go all the way but were prevented from climbing high due to challenging weather, difficult & unsafe route conditions (deep snow, etc) this season. We had a fun and productive expedition nonetheless and most importantly everyone came back down safely from Everest. Always a privilege to spend time in the Himalayas with good people, especially the @mountainhardwear climbing team of @joe_vernachio , @timemmett , as well as the @louderthan11 film team of @jonglassberg , @francoislebeau , @jess_talley !
Fun times hanging out on Everest with new friends @kilianjornet , @andrzejbargiel , @philippreiter007 , @carogredler and @carlos_llerandi ! Hope to see you all again soon in the mountains!
Now, time to head home for some rest before climbing adventures this winter ❄️ ! Then looking forward to a return to #Everest 🏔!! #madisonmountaineering #mountainhardwear

Testimonials
What a great presentation! Everyone was riveted during your talk! The images were outstanding and your message really resonated with everyone. Several people told me that this was the best dinner speaker ever. I think you inspired some future mountain climbers!
It was terrific. The slides were amazing and his presentation was very tight and engaging
Garrett’s presentation was great. It was informative to those of us who may never reach that pinnacle of climbing
I loved every minute of Garrett’s presentation. It was just long enough to get a feel for what the climbs were like and short enough to keep my interest (I do not have a long attention span!) I believe that an audience of any interest level in climbing would find his talk very interesting
Let’s stay in touch!
