Cornell's Own Mountain Man

COE climbing coordinator Mark Holton talks about his life in the trees

After speaking to Mark Holton, Ph.D. ’96, for just five minutes, it was obvious that his overwhelming passion for students and outdoor adventures is something that drives him everyday.

Just from his past experiences teaching students and his endeavors in the demanding sport of rock climbing, Holton wouldn’t have his life any other way.

“I’m in charge of training and staffing for Cornell indoor and outdoor climbing,” said Holton, Climbing Program Coordinator for Cornell Outdoor Education (COE). “Mainly, the part that keeps me coming back is training and having a good time with new people — enjoying the world and enjoying the learning.”
