2025 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!

All Women’s Climb
Pico de Orizaba
With its summit resting at 18,491 feet / 5,636 meters, Pico de Orizaba is the highest point in all of México. Summiting this volcano is a considerable challenge, one that will give you perspective into your own capabilities and will build confidence to reach higher summits. To get yourself ready for Orizaba your itinerary includes a walk-up ascent of 3,600 meter San Miguel just outside of Mexico City in the Desierto de los Leones National Park, followed by an ascent of the 4,500 meter La Malinche. Along the way, savor the delights of our carefully curated dining experiences that make this an eating expedition like no other. Indulge in mouthwatering local flavors while staying in thoughtfully selected accommodations, ensuring your comfort and Mexican ambience as you prepare for each exhilarating climb. This climb will be organized with Mountain Madness.

Mt. Adams
Mount Adams, Washington’s second-highest peak, rises nearly 10,000 feet with stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge. This all-women’s climb offers a supportive environment for hikers stepping into mountaineering.
The south side route avoids glaciers, making it beginner-friendly yet challenging. Climbers use helmets, crampons, and ice axes to navigate steep, icy slopes, learning snow climbing techniques without rope travel.
Perfect as a first mountaineering experience, Mount Adams also prepares climbers for bigger goals, like Mount Rainier.

This climb includes customized training from Alpine Athletics, and will support a local women’s charity. This climb will be organized with Mountain Madness.

Mexico Volcanoes
This expedition includes ascents of Pico de Orizaba (18,491 ft), the highest volcano in North America, and Iztaccihuatl (17,160 ft), the “sleeping lady.” These peaks offer an ideal introduction to high-altitude glacier climbing, perfect for those preparing for more demanding climbs such as Aconcagua or Denali.
This expedition is exclusively for women, led by a skilled all-female guide team! This empowering experience provides a supportive environment where women climbers can grow, inspire each other, and achieve remarkable goals together.
