Dean Staples is a New Zealand mountain guide and high-altitude climber based at Lake Hawea. An IFMGA guide with more than two decades of guiding experience, he has led international expeditions as well as trips in New Zealand. Adventure Consultants lists nine summits of Mount Everest for him, in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 (twice in one season), 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the last while leading the company's 2013 expedition, when he climbed Everest and then Lhotse in just over 24 hours. The company describes him as the first New Zealander to summit Everest from both the north and south sides. He has also climbed Cho Oyu three times, Shishapangma and Broad Peak, and filmed Everest summit days in 2007 and 2009. In 2019 the Otago Daily Times reported that Mark Woodward had passed him and Wanaka's Mike Roberts with a tenth Everest summit.
