Lauren Fuegel is from Syracuse, New York and grew up near the Adirondack Mountains where her love of the outdoors began, and with the help of a climbing gym opening in her hometown, that love only grew more. After coaching and instructing new climbers for over 2 years and an abundance of climbing and hiking locally, Lauren was ready to bring her passion to new places. After building out a van with the help of family and friends, Lauren set off in March of 2021 on a roadtrip where she had many amazing experiences, climbing in Yosemite, learning to whitewater kayak in White Salmon, WA, and becoming a Wilderness First Responder. While passing through Buena Vista, CO, Lauren found the place and job of her dreams, where she was able to share her love of the outdoors and skills she has learned to empower young women.
