Kelli Rhoads has guided around the world since the 1970’s, including expeditions to North and South America, and to Asia. She’s guided two Mt. Everest expeditions, and contributed to Tom Whittaker’s disabled success on Mt. Everest in '97. She's also climbed high on Everest in '89 and '99. In addition to her alpine skills and trekking experiences in Nepal, Kelli is equally at home on rock, guiding many rock climbs around the western states.

When not guiding, Kelli can be found adventuring around ski and rock climbing areas throughout the United States.
