2024 All-women’s philanthropic climbs

I’m passionate about encouraging and supporting women to explore and gain confidence in the mountains, while giving back to the mountain communities that I love so much. In 2024, I’m organizing along with exceptional guide companies and friends, the following climbs. I look forward to climbing with you!

Mt. St. Helens

Elevate your summer with a transformational ascent of Mt. St. Helens, specially designed for women over 45 who crave adventure, community, and the thrill of reaching new summits. This isn't just a climb; it's a celebration of strength, resilience, and the power of community.

Spring 2024

Makalu-Nepal

Makalu is situated in the Barun Valley, which is a remote and relatively untouched region in the eastern part of Nepal. The Barun Valley is southeast of Everest and is known for its pristine wilderness, rich biodiversity, and stunning landscapes.

This beautiful peak stands at an elevation of 8,485 meters (27,838 feet) above sea level, making it the fifth-highest mountain in the world. Makalu is known for its technical difficulty, with steep slopes, knife-edge ridges, and challenging rock and ice sections.

This year, I'm organizing a group of all-women hikers and trekkers, led by the amazing Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Akita, if you are interested in applying or learning more, let's talk!

Mt. Baker via the Easton glacier is a classic Cascades climb. 10,781 foot Mt. Baker is a great beginner climb for women interested in mountaineering. This climb includes customized training from Alpine Athletics, and will support a local women’s charity. This climb will be organized with Mountain Madness.
