Joscie Norris

Joscie began climbing in elementary school and over the past five years she has been living in Vermont and Alaska, where she works in outdoor and environmental education. She began leading student and women’s groups in college and has continued instructing during the winter through Petra’s gym and outdoor clinics. Joscie is especially passionate about expanding access and equity in climbing as well as encouraging a curiosity for the natural landscape through human-powered travel. When not climbing, she spends her time teaching ecology in Alaska, livestock farming, ski-instructing, and maple sugaring. Join her to learn how to ice climb or dig deeper into skills; she is sure to keep you moving, warm, laughing, and share some fun facts about lichens. Joscie is a Single Pitch Instructor and Wilderness First Responder with training in mental health first aid and avalanche safety.
