Heidi Wirtz

Heidi Wirtz is a professional climber, seasoned guide, and devoted yogin with a lifelong passion for the outdoors and personal transformation. With over three decades of climbing experience, she has traveled the globe in search of wild, remote, and awe-inspiring places—pioneering first ascents on unclimbed big walls and mountains, and continually pushing the boundaries of female exploration and adventure.

A dedicated outdoor educator for more than 25 years, Heidi is an AMGA Certified Rock Guide, SPI Provider, Apprentice Mountain and Ski Guide, and is actively pursuing her full IFMGA certification. Her extensive guiding background spans everything from high alpine objectives to technical rock routes, always grounded in safety, compassion, and personal growth.

Through EPR, she curates transformational experiences that go far beyond the physical, helping participants reconnect with themselves, cultivate community, and return home with newfound confidence, clarity, and joy.
