Trip: Women+ Crevasse Rescue 1-Day

Guide: Victoria G.

Very inclusive, comfortable and informational. We lucked out with every participant bringing their own unique mountaineering experience to the table and everyone helped everyone. Good attitudes all around. Vic was freakin cool, very knowledgeable and patient. Five stars for friggin sure.

Trip: Women+ Mountaineering Leadership 5-Day

Guide: Victoria G.

Wonderful trip! I felt the course was designed to give you the skills and correct mindset to complete the summit of Mount Baker. I really felt Victoria personalized the experience and has such a calm, gentle, easy-going manner. It really put me at ease and helped me to be in the right frame of mind to complete the summit.

Trip: Women+ Mountaineering Leadership 5-Day

Guide: Victoria G.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for a 5-day mountaineering course but Victoria was an absolute gem to have as trip leader. Having my limited base knowledge and experiencing wild weather our first few days, I found it was super helpful to observe things Victoria did in certain situations and we had a few moments where she explained decisions made based on the conditions, seemingly on the fly. It was an amazing experience in wild, unanticipated conditions and I feel like I learned a lot.
