Katie Lambert

Biography: Katie Lambert is a professional rock climber based out of Bishop, CA which she has called home since 2009. Originally from Louisiana, she found climbing at the age of 15. It became an integral part of her life - giving her purpose, discipline, direction and a connection to the natural world. For the last 25 years, she has centered her life around making rock climbing and time spent outdoors a priority for herself and an accessible option for others. Katie has had the great fortune to have traveled extensively for climbing not just in the US but throughout Europe, Canada, Central and South America, and Greece and Turkey. Her knowledge of the rock extends from bouldering, to sport climbing, to trad climbing and big walls; she has several first ascents in Yosemite, the Eastern Sierra, as well as in the Cirque of the Unclimbables and abroad. Katie holds a Masters Degree in Nutrition and works as a Nutritional Therapist, bringing this knowledge and care to the youth at Sacred Rok. Lambert knows that boundaries to both the outdoors and to nutrient dense food exists and she helps Sacred Rok to break the barriers of access to these fundamental human rights through introducing our youth to affordable, seasonal, and local food as well as to the nature which lays just outside their doors.
