👋Welcome back,

Kelsey first swung an ice tool on Mt. Washington in 2019, and has spent the past 5 winters cutting her teeth on technical ice and mixed routes in the White Mountains. During that time, she worked at International Mountain Equipment for 2.5 years, then spent a few years guiding rock, ice and mountaineering objectives in the MWV, serving at Flatbread Company downtown and volunteering as a part of New Hampshire’s Mountain Rescue Service climbing team.

Alpine climbing expeditions as a part of an all-female team are her favorite - she’s been grateful for the ability to have gone on multiple trips to big beautiful places like the Alaska Range and Patagonia in that style. She’s currently spending a winter based out of Bozeman, MT to learn from ice and mixed routes in a new zone, and in the summer she will transition back to the Tetons for her third season guiding alpine rock for Jackson Hole Mountain Guides. She also really really loves to run (mostly on trails and in the mountains), dance and meet new people. Kelsey is hugely grateful to brands like and for supporting her pursuits of her passions.

A Map to Mental Health in the Mountains
With Chelsea Kendrick of
A Map to Mental Health in the Mountains is a workshop designed for ice climbers and mountaineers who want to better understand and care for their mental health in high-risk, high-demand environments. This session explores common climbing and mountaineering related causes of stress injury, how stress injuries can show up mentally, emotionally, and physically, and how they may impact performance, decision-making, and enjoyment in the mountains. Participants will learn to recognize early signs and symptoms, understand when and where to seek support, and become familiar with different types of mental health care and resources available so they can build resilience, stay grounded, and keep climbing.
