Bio: Born in raised in Poland, I moved to the States in 1991. After living through the frigid winters in Chicago, my husband, daughter, and I packed up our lives and moved to Las Vegas in 2000. I have always been called to the outdoors- I used to spend the summers of my childhood in the scouts backpacking, kayaking, sailing, etc.
Age: 49
Why did you join the 52 Peak Club: I used to casually hike with my family, but always desired to get to the mountains more frequently and on more advanced hikes. The 52 Peak Club offered me a great way to make friends, push my limits in a safe way, and have a great time!
Date Completed all 52 Peaks: Jan 21st, 2018
Toughest Peak: Holiday Peak
Favorite Hike: White Pinnacle Peak
How did you feel once you became a 53er: Accomplished, but ready for new adventure!
Advice for new hikers: Always pack a delicious sandwich, so you have something to look forward to at the peak (besides the view)! Start with lower cards so you don’t overwhelm yourself from the start, build up confidence and experience before you attack the more difficult hikes. The leaders are great at what they do- knowledgeable, experienced, always thinking about safety- trust them! Above all else, believe in yourself- you can do it!
