Kat Porter

Kat is an outdoorsy extrovert who thrives on bringing energy and sharing adventures. Her passion is helping others to reach their goals. Kat started her career guiding outdoor rock and ice climbing around the northeast US. She also frequently travels to gain experience in new terrains, guiding internationally in New Zealand, Peru, and more. Her dream is to become an IFMGA guide to be able to share the mountains with people all over the world.
Any activity outdoors brings joy, but her favorite days are spent in the mountains on snowy peaks and glaciers in the high alpine sharing summits with others. When not in the mountains, Kat enjoys creative crafts, playing guitar and video games. She looks forward to meeting you on a future adventure!
