Kim Csizmazia

Kim started climbing ten years ago after completing an English/Skiing degree at the University of Utah. With a minor in Ski Bumming, Kim took to the climbing lifestyle well and she has been climbing full time ever since.

While she considers herself to be a climbing generalist her most significant accomplishments have been in ice climbing. She was the first woman to consistently lead Water Ice (WI)6 and the first woman to climb the modern mixed grade of M10.

Kim has also dominated the competition scene in ice climbing with three X-Game Gold medals, two first places in the Ouray Ice Climbing Exhibition and winning the first ever Ice climbing World Cup in 2000.

Kim lives in Canmore AB, Canada where she spends most of her time climbing.
