Kristine R


I'm Kristine Rinn. I'm 46 and most of you know me as a breast cancer oncologist at Swedish. I love the mountains and started hiking and climbing in my 20s. I have been married 22 years and have a wonderful family including 2 kids (8 and 11) and a Portugese water dog named Martha. I had a brush with my own disease last year and had bilateral mastectomies, but no chemo. I was extraordinarily lucky. I have always felt honored to be associated with all the wonderful women in TSNW and this will be my 3rd climb with the organization. My favorite high altitude pick-me-up really is a bag of Swedish Fish.
