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 almost 4,800 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 peaks in 33 of Idaho’s 44 counties. During 2025, Liv established a new record of 2,212 total Idaho peaks climbed, more than any other climber.

You can find his trip reports for over 1,500 peaks on the IACG website with some great photos. He often follows the path less followed. As of 2025, Liv has recorded 179 new ascent routes and 132 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.
