Liv Douglas is by far the most prolific contributor to this website and an Associate Editor. He is a Colorado-based mountaineer who has reached the summits of over 4,500 peaks in North America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Liv has climbed most of Idaho’s highest peaks. In addition, he has expanded his geographic coverage of Idaho’s mountains and has climbed several hundred Idaho peaks, mostly in Eastern, Southern, and Central Idaho. During 2024, Liv established a new record for Idaho Beaverheads having climbed 173 Idaho peaks in that expansive mountain range.

You can find his trip reports for hundreds of peaks on the IACG website with some great photos. He often follows the path less followed. As of 2024, Liv has recorded 169 new ascent routes and 128 new descent routes on Idaho’s peaks. In the process, he has opened up new climbing opportunities for Idaho mountaineers and has vastly increased our knowledge of Idaho’s mountain terrain. Perhaps most importantly, Liv has documented and updated the access routes to some of Idaho’s most remote country.
