Erin Parisi
A lifelong athlete, Erin came to Colorado in 2002, and soon grew attached to outdoor spaces and the freedom and friendships they fostered. After announcing her transition, questions arose within herself, friends, and family on whether she would be able to continue her passion for adventure sports and travel at the same pace she had in her past life.
Erin provided an answer to any doubters very quickly. With a history of far-off travels, and a long list of past adventures, she committed to taking on our 7 Summits project without hesitation. If any doubt still remained, she killed them by slaying three of the 7 Summits in six months with ascents in Australia, Africa, & Europe during the first half of 2018.
Some of Erin’s past adventures include heli-skiing in Alaska, two summit completions on Kilimanjaro, a crossing of the Himalayas in Nepal, several ski mountaineering trips through Canada & the USA, and mountain bike descents across North and South America.
Erin loves snow sports, mountain biking, and backpacking deep into the her home state of Colorado’s wilderness with her two dogs.
