Anja Barkenæs
DIRECTOR OF MARKETING
Anja, our warm-weather hiker, brings infinite positivity and enthusiasm to the team. While too much of Anja’s outdoor pursuits focus on keeping the guys alive, her love of nature shines through her international travel and maintaining a national park log.

Moosie
Our resident rockhopper, Moosie boundlessly explores the Rockies. An expert cragger, he will eat anything he finds on the trail including the rocks themselves. While Moosie’s language barrier prohibits him from giving gear advise with the rest of the crew, he is certainly lying by the keyboard as your recs are prepared.
