How to become a guide
|
Good info on illegal guiding and getting your certifications |
|
Do you have a permit from the NPS to guide at J-Tree? |
|
Please tell me you are joking |
|
I'll go out on a limb and guess that he doesn't carry insurance, either. |
|
Nick, |
|
Thanks Ya I don't want any legal trouble. Have you heard of anyone getting in trouble for guiding out of National Parks. |
|
Also do one of you know if a liability waiver for the customer prevents them from suing me and land owner of they were to get injured? |

If you do anything wrong, or allow the client to do anything wrong, the waiver will do you no good. When you get sued, the fact that you have no permit, no official certification from a recognized body, and no insurance, as is customarily expected in the "profession, "will be "chum for the sharks," literally and figuratively. Best to get training from an official body, obtain a certification, and obtain all necessary licenses and permits. You are inviting disaster - in the worst possible way - if you don't. And BTW, if you are a potential client, you should be aware of who is taking you up a climb. jg (Attorney in State of California - 33 years) |

JG Thanks that makes sense. Will I get sued for advertising the way I'm doing it with no certs. Or insurance? |
|
Jorge Gonzales ..... Good to see your still at this climbing deal. And handing out great advise.... |
|
I don't know Nick, you don't seem to have a good grasp on "safety." |
|
From what I understand, San Bernardino NF (Tahquitz and Suicide) requires that you carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance. The permit to guide here runs around $1000/year and they are in limited quantity. I forget what the insurance premiums are, but it's not too outrageous. They won't sell you the permit unless you are a certified guide with insurance. Joshua Tree is easier to get a guiding permit, but you must still be insured and certified (or working for a licensed guide service). |
|
Thanks man, ya I can't spell too good but I'm as safe a rock climber could be. |
|
Maybe you're right Nick, but your lack of attention to detail and seemingly spur of the moment idea to make some scratch makes me doubt that immensely. |
|
That's some good info Ryan, ya after a while dragging people up climbs isn't too exciting but it beats any other job I'm qualified for. Also to any guide that feels obligated to report me, I haven't got any customers from my ads, and I also plan to get my certifications. |
