Peggy Flavin is a unique force in the mountaineering world, blending her artistic soul with a deep passion for guiding. Based in Colorado, Peggy leads technical ascents across some of the most challenging terrains—from the Alaska Range to the Tetons and down to Moab. She began her guiding journey decades ago, and her expertise is matched only by her creative spirit, which you can see in the murals and custom artwork she creates when she's not climbing.

Peggy's guiding style is calm, confident, and subtly empowering, making her the perfect companion for anyone from seasoned climbers to those taking their first steps into the wild. Her approach is all about the journey, not just the summit, ensuring that every climb is an adventure in itself.

Whether she's catching a slip on a rope, leading a team up Denali, or sharing a quiet moment under the stars, Peggy brings a thoughtful and inspiring energy to every climb. If you’re lucky enough to rope up with Peggy, you’re not just getting a guide—you’re gaining a friend, wrapped in a story that’s as beautifully crafted as the art she creates.
