Quentin Roberts

ABOUT ME:

Quentin Roberts has been climbing mountains all of his life. His love for climbing began on the South coast of Wales where he grew up scrambling on the limestone sea cliffs. After finishing high school on the coast of British Columbia, he enrolled in Engineering at UBC where he climbed more than he studied and used his student loans to fund his various expeditions. Now that he’s graduated, Quentin has moved the Canadian Rockies and continues to climb hard routes all over the world. Quentin has climbed 13+ on gear, soloed difficult North Faces, and made bold first ascents in Patagonia and Peru. He is always striving to push the envelope of modern alpinism both in Canada and Internationally.
