Brooke Maushund

Spend­ing the bet­ter part of a decade liv­ing, work­ing, and climb­ing in Yosemite Nation­al Park, Brooke cut her teeth as a climber toil­ing away on El Cap­i­tan and mov­ing through the High Sier­ra, includ­ing mul­ti­ple solo & A4 ascents. She’s ded­i­cat­ed her time to res­cue and snow sci­ence, spend­ing mul­ti­ple sea­sons work­ing on Yosemite Val­ley Search and Res­cue, ski patrolling,as an avalanche course instruc­tor, an avalanche cen­ter employ­ee, and on a res­cue patrol on Denali with the NPS Climb­ing Rangers. She is pas­sion­ate about work­ing with peo­ple to help them bet­ter under­stand the nat­ur­al process­es of the moun­tains, and how to move through them more safe­ly. She is an expe­ri­enced EMT, AIARE Avalanche Course Instruc­tor, AMGA Appren­tice Rock Guide, is Win­ter Moun­tain Weath­er Fore­cast­ing cer­ti­fied, and is mov­ing through the AMGA Ski Guide Track. She is as big of a snow nerd as it gets, com­ing from a field engi­neer­ing back­ground work­ing on remote weath­er sta­tions, so she’s always stoked to talk snow!
