Willie Benegas
Willie Benegas was born in Patagonia and raised to climb mountains. His roots are in exploring Patagonia with his father and brother, Damian Benegas. He brought his experience and ambitions to the United States at age 21, went to Yosemite and logged over 80 ascents of El Capitan. Equally impressive are his annual returns to South America, where he has logged over 50 ascents of Aconcagua. A certified IFMGA mountain guide, you can rely on Willie’s extensive experience and skills.

Todd Passey is a Utah born and raised local but that does not mean he has not traveled the world experiencing a wide variety of mountain ranges from deep powdery Alaskan descents to summiting the top of the world.
