Matt Tredway and his wife Dana reside Steamboat, Colorado. Originally a Gunnison boy, he was an outdoor enthusiast at an early age. NOLS was a perfect transition, and he was an instructor in the day. Matt has always been very involved in the community. He instructed Math and Science in public schools as well as coached. Always the promoter, he founded and was the director of Everything Outdoor Steamboat (EOS). EOS is designed to give students a chance to experience outdoor activities including rock and ice climbing, backpacking, winter mountaineering, kayaking, and horse packing. He states,” There is no greater thrill than to witness a student succeed in a challenge that they were convinced would defeat them”. 
 
Matt now climbs, skis, and  tinkers with building.  He continues to serve on several boards, including Western Colorado University, and the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.

• ​Dolomites (By Matt Tredway) - "My Italian climbing partner was a friend-of-friends...The 45ish, burly Italian scoffed, and said, 'Those sport climbers. They are like the kids today… too lazy to buy the sausage and cut it up…  they want it pre sliced. They want to have hard grades, a planned route, no thinking, and don't even look around at the views!' I gulp a little, and nodded - knowing in the back of my mind that Shelf Road is a sport crag I've climbed a couple times a year since forever."​​
