Amanda Erickson

When she’s not helping coordinate your expedition/course/workshop/custom program here at the AMS office, Amanda can be found climbing, fishing, traversing, and paddling her way through Alaska’s wilderness. Amanda has worked with AMS since 2014 and has a BA in Child and Family Studies. She was raised in the deep south of Charleston, SC, where she was first introduced to rock climbing and outdoor pursuits in the Smoky Mountains. Despite Talkeetna being her home base since 2010, Amanda is on a continual quest to find North America’s warmest and loneliest long-boarding wave. Amanda climbed to 14,200 ft on Denali’s West Buttress and completed a glacier travel and crevasse rescue workshop with AMS, so she has firsthand experience to help answer your climbing questions.
