Hi, I’m Dillon Geiger a guide, photographer, and lifelong explorer of wild places.
I grew up in the heart of Colorado, where the Rockies shaped my love for big landscapes and endless adventures. After serving in the Marine Corps, I found a new mission in the mountains: climbing towering peaks, guiding others to their own summits, and capturing the beauty of it all through my lens.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is my personal space to share the adventures, lessons, and stories that shape my life. Here you can expect:
- Trip Stories & Reflections – From bailing off of technical climbs to chasing sunsets in remote alpine basins.
- Photography & Visual Essays – Images that capture the grit and grace of the mountains, featured on my Instagram @dillon_alpinelens.
- Gear & Guide Insights – Hard-earned tips on equipment, preparation, and what it takes to move safely through wild terrain.
- Life Between the Peaks – Thoughts on balance, resilience, and finding purpose in a life built around exploration.
Why I Write
For me, writing is a way to slow down and reflect on a fast-moving life spent in chaotic places. It’s where stories from the wild adventures meets the quiet lessons of a private room with moments of challenge, growth, and joy.
Join the Journey
Whether you’re here for inspiration, practical knowledge, or simply a glimpse into a life lived close to the edge, welcome.
Settle in, and let’s share some stories from the vertical world together.
