About Jess Worley
Jess grew up playing in the heart of the Elk Mountains in Carbondale,
Colorado. She now calls Boulder her home. Jess’s background is in outdoor
education at Colorado Outward Bound School, leading rock climbing trips
and coaching the climbing team at Colorado Rocky Mountain School, as well
as teaching adaptive skiing for Challenge Aspen. Now, Jess splits her time
between sharing her love of the mountains with others through guiding, and
working as a social worker at the local community health clinic. She plans to
meld her passions for rock climbing, social justice and mental health. Jess is
excited to be a part of The Mountain Guides and share her love for all things
rock climbing, from helping new climbers to feel comfortable on the rock, to
working with more experienced climbers to expand their skill sets and tackle
more challenging objectives. Jess’s favorite local climbing area is Eldorado
Canyon, but there is nothing she loves quite as much as the splitter cracks in
Bear Ears National Monument.
