Sounds like a good job, too bad I do not have Alaskan climbing experience, yet.
Bellingham is a nice town, hung out there for a week back in 1973 when my two high school climbing buddies and I did Shuksan.
Good luck in finding the right candidate.

"$32,000 to $36,000 DOE"
I'd say that's your problem right there. You want someone with a rare skillset, plus administrative/management type abilities...and you want to pay them $15/hr. Good luck with that.

You would be hard pressed to make it on those wages in Bellingham Wa .Western Washington is a spendy place to live .

You guys are right I was thinking in euros even though the dollar sign is on the figures (€32,000-€36,000 = $43,190-$48,540).
At $32,000-$36,000 being €23,711-€26,675, one would have a very hard time making it in Dublin.

"You would be hard pressed to make it on those wages in Bellingham Wa ."
Welcome to the Outdoor/Adventure Education Industry. That kind of compensation range is a bit on the low side, but not by much as compared to similar administrative positions in programs similar to AAI.
