Born and raised in North Vancouver, BC, he began climbing in Squamish in the late 90's and was inspired by guides to take his passion for climbing higher, into the mountains. One of his greatest joys is facilitating similar experiences to young people, directing their lives towards the mountains and giving back to the sport that has given him so much.

He has climbed in New Zealand, Patagonia, Colombia, Peru, Croatia, Sweden, Thailand, Morocco, Australia, Spain and the USA. Andrew is always psyched for the next adventure!

Hi, my name is Doug Orr and I am a certified ACMG Top Rope Instructor. While I have only been a TRI for one year, I have been rock climbing for 30 years with the last 20 of them mainly in the Skaha Bluffs. Skaha is one of North Americas' best rock climbing areas and there is nowhere else I would rather live, work and play. I have been heavily involved in many aspects of the Skaha Bluffs, from new route and boulder development to trail building and maintenance. It feels very good to me to be able to pass on my love for Skaha to the next generation of rock climbers. Working with Skaha Rock Adventures gives me this opportunity and it's fun! See you out at the Bluffs!
