Caleb Mallory

Originally from South Florida, Caleb discovered climbing while studying at Montreat College in western North Carolina. He knew his climbing journey was beginning after an impressionable month-long trip through Wyoming's Wind River Range.  During his undergrad, Caleb recognized the multitude meaningful lessons to be learned through adventure experiences. He had many of these experiences on his own but the ones that changed him the most were those shared with others. After being guided up 6000m peaks in South America, frozen waterfalls in Norway, and granite cliffs in Squamish, Caleb knew his passions for teaching, climbing, and exploration were leading him to pursue guiding as a career. Caleb & his wife Jackie moved to Washington state in 2017 to begin their careers and raise their growing family. Caleb has been working professionally as a guide, instructor, and outdoor educator here in the Northwest since then and has spent time with several companies throughout those years. His passion for sharing life and truth with others through outdoor adventure experiences is what drove him to start Mountain Top Missions.
