BIOS:

Angela Limbach:

Angela is a Wisconsin native and current member of the US Ice Climbing Team, who has competed extensively in the Ice Climbing World circuit. She loves representing her country at world cups, but was most proud to represent midwest ice climbers at the Ouray Mixed Competition, taking home the silver medal in 2021 and bronze in 2023.  Although she competes around the country and abroad, and has traveled to climb ice in the American West and Canadian Rockies, her roots in ice climbing remain in the midwest. She is passionate about teaching people to climb in any style or medium they choose and her goal is to always give back the kindness, mentorship, and expertise that has been shown to her in all facets of her climbing career.
