“Christian Santelices is an extraordinary guide.  He has been my teacher and my mentor in the world of climbing, and he has become one of my closest friends.

       We have climbed in the Tetons, in Patagonia, in the Pyrenees in Spain, in the Alps in France and Switzerland, in the Dolomites in Italy, in South Africa--literally all over the world.

       I can give Christian absolutely the highest recommendation.”

Richard Mithoff - Attorney and Philanthropist

“Thank you for being such a good example of being a leader.  Your dedication, consideration, thoughtfulness, funny stories, cheese, and grandpa candies did not go unnoticed and I thoroughly enjoyed your and Angela’s company.  Also, thank you for helping me develop my leadership skills – I will keep those points and advice in mind.”

Soo Jin Koh - Wharton School of Business Graduate - Patagonia 2008-09

“I just want to thank you again for an incredible experience in Torres del Paine.  What a magnificent place - I understand why you always want to return.”

“Thanks so much for the lesson today. I loved it! I actually have not stopped smiling. I am so excited; I even stopped at Yostmark on my way home to look at ice tools.”
