A former collegiate Nordic ski racer, Jeffrey James Justman gave up his competitive side to pursue a life of adventure. As a Senior Guide for Mountain Link Jeff has over 100 ascents of Mount Rainier in Washington. When he is not climbing in the United States, you will find him guiding aspiring mountaineers all over the world with destinations to Ecuador, Mexico, Argentina, Russia and Asia to name a few.

In 2002, Jeff participated in his first Himalayan Expedition, a climb of Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest mountain in the world. In 2003, he returned to the Himal for an ascent of Manaslu. And in the spring of 2004 Jeff made the summit of Mount Everest with fellow Ground Athlete Lhawang Dhondup, (who Jeff nicknamed, ?The Tibetan Bull?). Jeff admitted, ?There is no way, I would have made the summit in such great style without Lhawang?.

Jeff?s goals continue to lie in sharing mountaineering experiences around the world with aspiring high altitude climbers. Jeff also plans on making attempts on all 14, 8000 meter peaks. With a Master?s Degree in Interpersonal/Organizational Communication, Jeff travels throughout the country speaking to corporations on how to improve human performance in the workplace.
