Rock Climbing Gear

S2MA represents an energetic collaboration between individuals with a passion for exploring the high and wild spaces of this world in a safe and sustainable manner. S2MA was born from S2 Mountaineering, owned by Jeff Reyonds.


Accountability Matters: S2MA is a network of world class mountaineers bringing skills, experience and passion to members of the entry-level and advanced climbing community. We’ve organized and led expeditions all over the world, including the Seven Summits, with great success. You’ll be with the very best, and we’re committed to your safety and success all the way to the summit and back. To that end, S2MA is redefining traditional guiding standards to achieve your confidence and prepare you for the summit well in advance of your departure.


We don’t take any mountain lightly, and we approach our profession with a humble respect for the alpine landscape. Our success is a result of careful planning and preparation at the individual level, beginning months in advance of departure. We are available to our team members on an individual basis to assist in their personal preparation and planning – we want you to summit! We have a high success rate because of the commitment we make to our members.


State of the Art Planning: Our comprehensive operational platforms for climbing, communication, security, logistics and emergency evacuation means your trip is thoughtfully planned for your safety and success. Our leadership and organizational behavior is premised on a rare and powerful combination of mountaineering, military and private industry experience.


Your Health and Security is Paramount: S2MA is regularly updated on local and international security and health threats to ensure our members are traveling with confidence. Prior to departure, S2 staff conduct an independent evaluation of security reports from both local and international government agency sources. We share this information with our members and discuss any concerns as a part of our overall risk assessment. We also provide in-country security and health briefings to our members upon arrival to promote safety and situational awareness. We are pleased to report that we have had no significant security threats during the entire tenure of our operations. Further, we have carefully planned and avoided all significant health threats potentially affecting our climbers.


Fairness and Responsibility: S2MA is committed to fairness, equity and opportunity for our network of associates and staff. Our business model incorporates compensation that exceeds industry standards. 


Our Commitment


We believe in the importance of cultural and environmental sustainability. We strongly advocate for supporting international climbing communities by recruiting the best and brightest local guides and by teaming these guides with our established US-based guides. This approach allows us to harness the invaluable knowledge of local guides, contribute to economic investment in the local communities, promote cultural collaboration, and provide our clients with a seamless guided experience.

Our Values

Holding Ropes

1

Safety

We are dedicated to supporting your health and safety because we define a safe expedition as a successful expedition. 


On the mountain, we manage risk through strong situational assessment, avoidance and mitigation. 


Our philosophy of mountaineering embraces a team dynamic that values vigilance, judgment and training.

Sustainability

We lead by example regarding our commitment to sustainable business practices and expeditions. 


We recognize the communities which support the areas we love are vulnerable and that our actions, even well intentioned, have an impact. 


We actively seek to continually minimize our impact and that of our climbers at every opportunity.

Accessibility

We believe the alpine landscape is for everyone. We actively work to break down barriers to trekking and mountaineering so that enthusiasts of all backgrounds can experience the same mountain nourishment that keeps us all coming back time and time again.
