Guide Resumes

Emilie Drinkwater - Back to resumes

Equally at home hanging off the side of a cliff or jump turning down a wilderness snow chute, Emilie is another one of Rock and River’s multiple discipline guides. A former ski instructor, marathoner and Ironman competitor, she can currently be found gracing the cover of the area's new rock climbing guidebook (Adirondack Rock). Having climbed throughout the country including several first ascents in the Alaskan Range, Emilie has dedicated her life to a career revolving around outdoor pursuits. Thouroughly dedicated to her craft, Emilie’s been guiding here since the late 90’s and because of her good-natured, unassuming personality, she’s developed quite a following amongst our clientele.
