WHO YOU
CLIMB WITH.

Trained in altitude medicine in Chamonix through our IFREMMONT partnership. Reads a pulse-oximeter like a second language and runs the twice-daily health checks on every climb.

"I would rather you be angry with me at 4,600 metres than safe and silent in a helicopter. The mountain is not going anywhere. Next year it is still here."

One of fewer than thirty women lead-guiding on Kilimanjaro. Part-owner since 2024. Pace coach, gear nerd, and the reason a lot of our family climbs come back wanting to do it again.

"Pole pole is not a slogan we put on a t-shirt. It is the whole job. I spend all day telling strong people to slow down so they are still strong at midnight."

Came up through the porter ranks — carried loads for four years before his first guide badge. Works the midnight summit push, where his steady voice does more than any pep talk.

"I was a porter on this exact route in 2017. Now I am the one at the front in the dark. I tell the climbers: I know every rock here by its first name."
