Garrett Madison: A Life of Expeditions, from Everest to K2

Garrett Madison is considered to be one of America's premier Everest guides. In addition to leading nearly 100 clients to the summit of Mt. Everest, Garrett has made a lasting impact on the world of expedition climbing in the Himalaya and Karakoram, with notable firsts including the first guided climbs of K2 and guided linkups of Everest and Lhotse. Prior to departing for the 2025 Everest season, Garrett joined Sam and Adrian on episode 26 of the Duffel Shuffle Podcast. Garrett shares his journey to becoming a guide, and the incredible opportunities he's had throughout his career. Garrett's initial interest in becoming a guide started on Mt. Rainier, and that's also where he got his start in the profession, with hundreds of ascents in his early years as a guide. Garrett shares his experience with guide certification, and how his career has followed a path in which formal training/certification has not been necessary. Garrett talks about what he's seen change in the industry, and how he's focused on mitigating the negative impacts around the increase in number of climbers each season.
