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!
Sharing the mountains with others. Seeing climber’s wonder and excitement when the sun rises on the upper mountain to majestic landscapes, supporting climbers as they try hard to achieve a dream, and the teamwork shared in the guide teams to make an ascent happen. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”

You are capable of so much more than you think. Having big dreams can sometimes make you feel small but, we become better versions of ourselves through testing and trying. As a guide, my goal is your goal and we will work together to give it our all!

Mountaineering
The Five Day Rainier Climb offers the classic Mount Rainier experience with added time, margin, and flexibility built into the schedule, allowing teams to move deliberately, adapt to conditions, and fully engage with the mountain rather than rushing to meet a narrow summit window. That extra day provides the flexibility to choose the best timing for summit day (especially valuable when weather is less predictable) making it ideal for first-time Rainier climbers and anyone seeking a deeper immersion in one of North America's most iconic glaciated peaks.
The climb begins with a half day orientation at BaseCamp, then a full day of mountaineering school on the mountain, then spends two nights at Camp Muir in the private hut RMI uses — the only guide service with its own shelter there, giving climbers time to acclimatize, refine movement skills, and recover between efforts. Throughout, you climb in small rope teams at a 2:1 climber-to-guide ratio for closer instruction and more individual attention. Before and after the climb, your team is based at Rainier BaseCamp in Ashford, home to the BaseCamp Bar & Grill, Whittaker Mountaineering, and Whittaker's Bunkhouse.
