Paloma Farkas AMGA
AMGA Rock Guide
City: Bishop
Province: CA
Bio: Paloma grew up in Seattle, Washington where she discovered her passion for the mountains through family backpacking and climbing trips in the Cascades. In 2017 she traveled to South America and fell in love with the granite towers of Patagonia. Since then she has split her time between Patagonia, Chile and the US. Paloma spends as much time as possible climbing and some of her favorite areas are Patagonia, the Peruvian Andes, the Cascades, Indian Creek, the Wind River Range, and the High Sierra. Her favorite type of climbing is big wall alpine climbing but Paloma also enjoys single pitch trad and sport climbing, bouldering and ice climbing. When Paloma isn’t pursuing her own climbing goals she finds fulfillment in sharing her passion with others and teaching the skills necessary to be self-sufficient in the mountains. Paloma is an AMGA Certified Rock Guide, Apprentice Alpine Guide, Wilderness First Responder, AIARE Avalanche Level 1, and Leave No Trace Trainer.
