Greenland Expedition
In April 2017 I was part of team who completed a self-supported expedition to the remote Stauning Alps in Greenland. Following a successful training expedition near Tromsø (Norway) our team spent one month skiing up the Roslin Glacier and down the Bjornbo Glacier, conducting research into the effects of climate change on the ice sheet and completing two first ascents. It was the trip of a lifetime!

The Monstrous Regiment
The Monstrous Regiment is a skill share for expedition leaders. In August 2022 the team travelled to a remote area of Kyrgyzstan. We completed two ascents after several ‘interesting’ river crossings due to the incredibly high temperatures melting the glaciers and snow nearby. Our team also aimed to complete a skill share, to educate and inspire the next generation of expedition leaders. You can read about our exploits in Sidetracked Magazine (February 2023).
We are currently planning our second expedition to Argentina in 2026.

Lectures and Writing
A few years ago I wrote gear reviews for an outdoor magazine (sadly closed during Covid). Having my words published was daunting due to its permanence, but overcoming that hurdle was a big step forward for me. You can now read two of my recent pieces:
Sidetracked Magazine
The Monstrous Regiment: Side Notes from an Expedition (volume 26)
Intrepid Magazine
How to Climb an Unclimbed Mountain in Kyrgyzstan
Thankfully, speaking has never been a problem and I have given talks at Horizon Lectures, Kendal Mountain Festival and to the Women’s Alpine Adventure Club and Austrian Alpine Club.
