Benjamin Tashiro

Born and raised in Germany it became apparent early that climbing things was Benji´s favourite thing to do. During boarding school he spent all his free time in the Swiss alps climbing 4000m peaks and testing his skills on long vertical rock faces, quickly finding himself leading student groups up glaciers and teaching climbing skills at the local crags. His love and curiosity for different sports made him choose an academic path to combine the physical and theoretical aspects of it. During universtity Benji worked multiple outdoor related jobs, gaining extensive experience and knowledge in outdoor gear, teaching styles and risk management. After graduating with a degree in Kinesiology he worked in Europe’s biggest ambulatory rehabilitation clinic for sport injuries for 10 years, taking care of professional athletes and private clients. In 2019 family and destiny brought him to Canada where he was able to make his passion his new job. Now his degree in Kinesiology with focus on prevention and rehabilitation of injuries gives him comprehensive insight that benefits the mountain and climbing program. With the combination of his interdisciplinary background, personal stoke and knowledge Benji is able to provide a wholesome and exciting experience for everyone who joins him on a climbing or mountaineering adventure.
