Women Who Crush

Huge welcome to two of our newest VICF22 volunteers who will be available the full weekend getting experience working and running an ice climbing event and building their own skills while helping others with theirs!

.

Rachel Taylor received her SPI through the AMGA in 2016 and is a current WFR as well. She worked as climbing center manager at The Ohio State University where I mastered the hard skills revolving around climbing and instructing climbing until 2014. Since then she has spent six seasons guiding ice hiking and climbing in Alaska (out of Seward) as well as in New Zealand (Franz Josef Glacier). She has split her time the last few years between Montana and Alaska and has formerly volunteered with the Seward Fire Department and took part in their high angle rescue trainings. She is also a Connect Scholarship Fund awardee.

Rachel Sullivan is an aspiring glaciologist and lover of all things polar and ice-related. Her work consists of glacier guiding in Seward, Alaska during the summer months and ski patrolling for Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska during the winter months. In between seasons, she tries to climb, hike, ski, and travel as much as possible. She will start a graduate degree program in the fall of 2023 at the University of Colorado Boulder after squeezing in one more full-time ski season in Alaska and a climbing season in Patagonia.
