Catherine Mulvihill
Professional Ice Climber
Canmore, Alberta

Catherine Mulvihill's beginnings make her an unlikely candidate for the world-travelled professional ice climber that she has become. Born and raised in rural North Carolina, she hadn't even camped until college, say nothing about climbing in the Himalayas. Yet, thatÕs what she found herself doing after college. While on location in Tibet as the base camp manager during the filming of a documentary on Mt. Everest, Catherine met alpinist Barry Blanchard. From there, she migrated back to Canada with him and has been ice climbing ever since. Her credits include several difficult routes in the Canadian Rockies - among them several multi-pitched waterfalls.
