Meet Angela Hawse
Angela Hawse, one of very few women excelling as a professional mountain guide, 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"
Angela’s show, “Small, but Mighty” 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 she’s done with clients and partners throughout her career.
More Accomplishments & Features
Angela has led over 30 high altitude mountaineering expeditions to the world’s Greater Ranges and guided remote trips from the Antarctic Peninsular to the Arctic. She skied from Sweden to Norway across Lapland, reached the South Summit of Mt. Everest (500’ higher than K2) and led numerous, technical all-women’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 children’s motorcycle across Mongolia for 10-days, alpine style.
Angela's Nonprofit Beneficiary: Headwaters Science Institute
Headwaters Science Institute is a science education nonprofit dedicated to fostering curiosity through science. For students of all ages, Headwaters expands horizons, introducing students to research concepts and providing hands-on opportunities to ask and answer questions.
From weeklong school programs to summer camps and from after school extracurriculars to overnight camping opportunities, Headwaters makes science fun and accessible for students in elementary, middle, and high school. Headwaters staff and mentors have extensive training and backgrounds in both scientific fields and education, and this combination serves Headwaters well in providing the best experiences for students across their programs.
