After moving to Colorado from the flat Midwest, Kristen was walking in the Garden of the Gods, saw people rock climbing and thought, “I don’t know what that is, but I need to do it.” Kristen then immersed herself in everything outdoors related since 2010 learning all she can about climbing, mountaineering, and skiing. As an AIARE Avalanche Instructor she enjoys the educational side of guiding and loves sharing knowledge with her clients.
