It was the winter of 1996 when a group of Buenos Aires climbers gathered to share an asado, the sacred Argentinean grill, and to watch a slide show on the last summer expeditions to Patagonia...

I started working from NOLS in 1997 and devoted my time to get some field weeks under my belt, working in Idaho, Wyoming, Baja California, Washington and Patagonia. By December 1999 I started Remote Consultants and I was exploring guiding and corporate training opportunities in Argentina and Chile. I decided to request Diego M. whether he was in need of an assistant guide. DM offered me an assistant position to guide one of his groups to the Southern Patagonian Icefield.

After having guided in the Southern Patagonian Icefield, Tronador, Lanín & Aconcagua and after having run our own projects during 6 years, we launched MERIDIES company, a joint effort to deliver high quality outdoor experiences to individuals and organizations. Our two companies, the Argentine Mountaineering Institute and Remote Consultants, merged to form meridies® in May of 2002. Today we have both, the background of 15 years combined of working for Outward Bound and the National Outdoor Leadership School and the local expertise of more than 15 years of experience in Argentina.

Many of our friends with whom we started climbing, now work with us in meridies® to deliver safe and fun programs in Argentina.
