Lindsey Hamm
Guide
Lindsey Hamm has been guiding for Skyward Mountaineering in Ouray for the past 5 years as well as traveling around to work in a variety of mountain states. She is a Mammut athlete with a diverse set of alpine skills and a wide breadth of experience, having built a life around the mountains, currently calling Bozeman home. She hopes to keep breaking the mold as a woman in high-level guiding, with over a decade of experience leading on rock, ice, alpine, and ski terrain. Her path has taken her to wild and remote places as well as classic routes, such as iconic Yosemite Valley climbs like The Nose in a Day to first ascents in Pakistan’s Karakoram. She continues to explore, guide, and push new ground.
If Lindsey isn’t out guiding or climbing, she is probably enjoying the small things in life, such as walking dogs and working on art.
