Dave Anderson
		Dave Anderson is a climbing guide and National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) instructor based out of Lander, Wyoming. Anderson is a very strong rock climber, having led every pitch, in a day, of the Original Route (Grade V, 5.12b) on Red Rocks' Rainbow Wall, as well as the Rostrum (Grade IV, 5.11c) and Astroman (Grade V, 5.11c) in Yosemite. He has also climbed in Alaska, India and Ecuador.

		Andrew Chapman
		A NOLS instructor and itinerant climbing bum, Andrew Chapman currently splits time between the couches and tool sheds of various friends in Jackson Hole. His significant climbs include on-sight solos of the Direct North Face (5.8 Grade IV 16hrs round trip) and the Enclosure Ice Couloir/West Ridge (5.8 AI3 Grade IV 17hrs round trip) on the Grand Teton. He has also done a free ascent of the Rainbow Wall (5.12) at Nevada's Red Rocks.

		Jimmy Chin
		A climber, writer and photographer, Jimmy Chin hails from Jackson, Wyoming, where he also works as a climbing guide. In 1999, Chin took his big wall climbing skills, honed in the crucible of Yosemite, to the towers of the Charakusa Valley in Pakistan, where he did the first ascents of the North Face of Fathi Brakk (Grade VI, 5.10 A3) and the East Face of Beatrice Tower (Grade VI, 5.10+ A3). Jimmy was the organizer of the Forbidden Towers Expedition. This is his first expedition to Patagonia.

		Steph Davis
		Steph Davis is recognized as one of America's premier adventure rock climbers. When she's not living in the back of her truck and climbing throughout the western U.S., Davis seeks out big wall granite in remote locations throughout the world. She has climbed walls in Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Patagonia and on Baffin Island. A talented free climber, she has redpointed Tricks are For Kids (5.13b) and soloed 5.11 cracks, all in Utah's Indian Creek Valley, and climbed the regular route on Half Dome in only 3.5 hours with partner Dean Potter.

		Dean Potter
		In just a few short years since emerging from his itinerant bouldering lifestyle, Dean Potter has quietly and most assuredly set a new standard in speed climbing, big wall style. In 1998, he made a stunning four hour and 17 minute solo ascent of the Regular Northwest Face route on Yosemite's Half Dome. Doubling down in 1999, he combined the Nose route on El Capitan and the Half Dome's Regular Northwest Face in a one-day marathon. In the spring of 2000, he became only the second climber to free-solo Astroman (Grade V, 5.11c) on Washington Column in Yosemite, the first being Peter Croft back in the 1980s. An avid slack-liner — similar to tight-rope walking, but using stretchy one-inch climbing webbing — Potter currently splits time between Yosemite and Moab and anywhere else his van will go.

		Brady Robinson
		A climbing guide and director of South American programs for the North Carolina Outward Bound school, Robinson has quietly put together a strong alpine big wall resumé. Robinson spent the summer of 1999 in the Charakusa Valley, where he knocked off the first ascent of the Tavis Route on Parhat Brakk (Grade VI, 5.11 A3), as well as the first ascent of the North Face of Fathi Brakk with Jimmy Chin. From there, he journeyed to Patagonia, where he and Ben Gilmore climbed a new route on the North Pillar of Fitz Roy that they dubbed Diedro Directo (Grade VI, 5.9 A3).
