Lindsay began climbing in college, although her mom will tell you she has always been climbing and loves all climbing terrain. Whether high up in the mountains, at a sunny rock crag or stunning ice flow, she is in her element.

Lindsay is an alpine, ice and rock climbing guide. She is on the Instructor Team with the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA), develops and teaches outdoor programming at Montana State University and instructs at indoor facilities.

As an AMGA Certified Alpine and Rock Guide, Lindsay brings her passion for climbing to work, inspiring her clients to excel in their climbing, build confidence, hone skills and meet their goals.

From teaching the basics of ice movement to climbing pitch after pitch of magnificent ice flows, from learning how to transition from the climbing gym to real rock to overnight alpine rock climbing objectives high in the mountains, Lindsay is psyched to share her knowledge and provide a tailored experience for her clients.

Lindsay spends winters ice guiding in Montana and Wyoming, spring and fall at various rock venues in the western U.S and splits the summer between Bozeman and the eastern Sierra.

Based in Bozeman, Montana, Lindsay enjoys climbing across the globe with her partner in crime, Gavin, playing guitar and singing, working out, eating carrots and drinking homemade cappuccinos.
