Meet Angela Hawse


Angela Hawse has been in the business of taking folks on trips of a lifetime throughout the world for over 35 years. In 2023, she received the AMGA Lifetime Achievement in Guiding Award for her work. Additionally, she was the 6th woman in the U.S. to become an IFMGA Mountain Guide, the 1st woman to join the AMGA Instructor Team 20 years ago, and is now the 1st woman and the 1st non-European person to serve on the IFMGA Technical Commission.

"Small, but Mighty"

Angelaโ€™s show, โ€œSmall, but Mightyโ€ will bring you along on her path less traveled which has required grit, passion, determination, compromise and commitment to go the distance, come back and do it again. Her work pioneering and paving a rocky road for women in a male-dominated profession parallels many inspiring adventures sheโ€™s done with clients and partners throughout her career.

Everest (500โ€™ higher than K2) and led numerous, technical all-womenโ€™s ascents that raised over 30K to support safe houses for young women in the Himalaya. Her most recent personal adventure was racing a 49-cc childrenโ€™s motorcycle across Mongolia for 10-days, alpine style.
