Sarah Hueniken has been living and guiding in Canmore for the past 9 years. As a fully certified ACMG Alpine guide, Sarah spends her summers guiding rock and alpine routes and her winters guiding classic ice and mixed lines in the Canadian Rockies. Having climbed for over 16 years, Sarah has traveled and worked in various places throughout the US, Mexico, South America, Europe and Asia to explore the mountains of the world. Highlights have included a first ascent of a 6000m peak bordering Tibet (Sachun 5.10+ M5), new ice lines in Iceland, participating in various climbing competitions and achieving a personal goal of climbing 5.13. Prior to moving to Canmore, Sarah spent years working for various Outward Bound schools, NOLS, Chicks with Picks and started a climbing program as the Associate Director of Outdoor Programs for St Lawrence University. Presently Sarah runs her own guiding company, specializing in getting women on the sharp end in the alpine, and on the rock and ice. Spending most of her time outside; working, climbing, skiing, running, surfing and lately crossfitting, Sarah is thrilled to be a part of the OR team and put the women’s line to the test in all elements!

Kate, Cheryl and I were on a mission….we came to slay the [...]
