Ben Liken, Mountain Guide, RMI Expeditions
Ben is looking forward to his second season with RMI after spending the winter living in Seattle, skiing, and traveling. He was raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania where he attained a degree in Geology at Bloomsburg University in 2010. In college Ben explored the worlds of climbing and guiding and has been hooked ever since. With a passion for teaching others and the outdoors, he has guided trips extensively throughout New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and Pacific Northwest; as well as Mexico and Ecuador. When not in the mountains Ben enjoys traveling, science, and playing outside.
