Adrian Ballinger (born February 25, 1976) is a British-American certified IFMGA/AMGA mountain guide. Ballinger is the founder of Alpenglow Expeditions. He has led over 150 international climbing expeditions on six continents, and made 18 successful summits of 8,000 meter peaks. He is known for the use of pre-acclimatization in altitude tents for commercial expeditions, which can cut the amount of time typically spent on an expedition in half. Ballinger is the only American to have made three successful ski descents of 8,000 m peaks, including the first ski descent of Manaslu from its summit.
