About Melissa
After establishing a career in the outdoor industry, teaching wilderness medicine, Melissa began working as a professional mountain guide in 2004. Her passion for teaching, taking care of others and climbing is what led her to being a mountain guide, but it is her enthusiasm that has taken her all over the world to climb, guide and teach. Melissa is a skilled rock climber, both sport and traditional, as well as ice leader. She became a lead guide in 2006, and enjoys facilitating others experience in the safest way possible, while still having fun. Melissa is from Montana, where she spends most of her time mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing or thinking about climbing.
