Peter Croft and Doug Robinson speak out about the American Mountain Guides Association(AMGA)<br />
<br />
Doug
Robinson was the founding President of the (AMGA - American Mountain
Guides Association) is an AMGA certified rock guide and alpine guide and
is also widely accepted as the grandfather of "clean climbing".<br />
<br />
Quote From Doug Robinson:<br />
<br />
"I agree that teaching skills are lagging in the AMGA program." Doug Robinson - April 23, 2010 - supertopo.com online forum.<br />

Peter
Croft is unquestionably regarded as one of the worlds best rock
climbers! He has guided professionally for the famed Yosemite
Mountaineering School and still runs rock climbing seminars in
California.<br />
<br />
Quote from Peter Croft:<br />
<br />
"From two of their
longtime member guides I found out that the AMGA initially promised
concerned guides that they would never work towards having non member
guides banned from any climbing areas - and if it did happen they would
then disband.<br />
Guess what happened?<br />
This came into clear focus for
me when, after years of guiding in Josh, I was banned from doing so in
the future - unless I paid the AMGA a hundred bucks. Now I'm not saying
that this was a blatant form of "protection" money - but I am dropping a
pretty heavy hint.<br />
No matter what, their urgent call for
professionalism and safety for all would have carried more weight had I
not met, on that same trip, a certified AMGA toprope instructor with 6
months climbing experience." Peter Croft - April 28, 2010 -
