2026 All-women’s 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. This year, I’m organizing along with Mountain Madness the following climbs. I look forward to climbing with you!

July 10-12, 2026

Mt. Baker

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.

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.

Mont Blanc/ Matterhorn Combo

If Mont Blanc is the high­est peak in the Alps, the Mat­ter­horn is the most rec­og­niz­able and dra­mat­ic. To climb these beau­ti­ful moun­tains is tru­ly a mem­o­rable expe­ri­ence. The mag­nif­i­cent scenery and final, exposed sum­mit ridge for Mont Blanc makes it per­haps the finest snow route in the Alps. And the Mat­ter­horn is per­haps the best, most ​“look what we just climbed,” moun­tain in the world as you sit in Zer­matt in an out­door café with your feet kicked up, relaxed, with all the crea­ture com­forts at your fin­ger­tips. Advanced begin­ner-inter­me­di­ate lev­el climbers will find these chal­leng­ing objec­tives attain­able with the prop­er train­ing and pre­vi­ous experience. This climb will be organized by Mountain Madness.
