Bio:
Kevin Mahoney lives in the granite state of New Hampshire where he was born and raised hiking in the White Mountains. He discovered climbing in college at the small crags of Pawtuckaway state park. Since his first climb he has been drawn to alpine climbing where all the climbing disciplines are tapped into to gain a summit. Kevin juggles his time between being a husband, father, sponsored athlete, and running his own guide service Mahoney Alpine Adventures. He is a UIAGM certified mountain guide and has been nominated for the Piolet d’Or for the first ascent of Arctic Rage on the Mooses Tooth in Alaska. His favorite thing is early mornings, either driving predawn to climb or hanging out with his little girls when they first wake up.
