MK Ambassador Albert Nugue is the General Manager and Director of guide training for Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides. He was recently named President of the Board of Directors for the new non-profit Professional Climbing Guides Institute.
PCGI is a nationally organized, non-profit, non-membership based institute that develops and implements training curricula and standards solely for the education and assessment of professional and aspiring rock climbing guides.
In a nutshell, the mission of PCGI is to further develop and define the safety standards of guided rock climbing through enhanced standards, education and training. PCGI currently holds several different training courses, including top rope guide, single-pitch guide, multi-pitch guide and more.
This is a new and unique program that was developed based on the need for affordability, opportunity, choice, U.S.A.-specific standards and overall updated assessment methods and standards. Check out the website for more information.
