Stephen Fredericks
HEAD GUIDE, ROCK & VIA FERRATA
All-terrain Adventure CreativeStephen brings years of guiding experience from Joshua Tree to the high desert of Utah. As the founder of Summit Climbing Guides and a PCGI Lead Guide, he’s worked with climbers of all levels—guiding everything from technical rock routes to creative “adventure lines” that mix hiking, scrambling, and summit views. He’s passionate about helping guests find both challenge and joy on the wall, and his calm, thoughtful approach puts people at ease—especially first-timers. When he’s not guiding, you’ll find him exploring hidden corridors, writing his next route, or playing guitar under the stars.

Amber Toler
CO-FOUNDER, VIA FERRATA GUIDE
Local Instigator of AdventureUpon moving to Vernal in 2015, Amber began exploring the wild corners of Uintah County and never really stopped. As a climber, community advocate, and major driving force behind Vernal's vertical trails scene, she founded Dyno Outfitters and Dyno Rock Gym to help others experience the magic of this place. When she’s not guiding, you’ll find her working behind the scenes, giving back to the community, hanging out with her kids, or dreaming about her next big project (both on and off the wall).

Adam Toler
CO-FOUNDER
Chief Encouragement OfficerWhile he jokes that he’s “not a climber,” Adam is always up for pulling plastic in the rock gym or clipping in on a via ferrata. As Amber’s biggest supporter, Adam plays a quiet but essential role in Dyno Outfitters. When he’s not outdoors or helping with shop & family logistics, Adam works full-time as the Head Electrician for SM Energy—bringing a sharp eye for detail, problem-solving skills, and a whole lot of sponsorship support to the table. His unwavering support and behind-the-scenes efforts have helped turn this dream into reality.
