General Manager & incoming owner, AWExpeditions
Risk isn't the absence of fear.
It's knowing exactly what you're walking into.
Women are serious about this. So is the company.
I run AWExpeditions, an all-women mountaineering company operating in Peru, Kyrgyzstan, and Argentina. I write about the parts of this work that don't make the brochure: risk, money, and what it takes to treat guides as partners instead of seasonal labor.
