High Places

Hi Stephanie-
Nice bloggie and thanks for sharing the super inspiring climbing photos - are those mostly Jimmy Chin shots? He is a friend of mine from Victor Idaho, I just moved from there to Seattle Washington.

Hi Steph,
My best friend and climbing partner was just hospitalized with a tib fib fracture after loose boulders pinched her legs on the approach to an objective in Torre Valley. An efficient evacuation with helicopter got her to Calafete after being out less than 24 hours. Rachel will be flown back to the states […]

Hey Steph,
I am 18 and have been climbing for four years. You and Dean inspire me so much. My question is how do you keep yourself from getting injuries (ie. tendons)? I had to take off 8 months from climbing because of a wrist tendon injury, that I still deal with on […]

My friend Rick Cashner is one of the original Yosemite Stone Masters….and he still cranks as hard as he did back in the golden days. He has some terrifying tales of free soloing in Joshua Tree, and one story about pitching off of a testpiece free solo and hitting the ground, miraculously fairly unhurt. […]

Hi Steph,
I wrote you an email a while ago after reading your book about being brave and meeting new climbing partners and such (Hello from Boston). Anyways, I’ve been following your blog since then. I just wanted to let you know how much I love it and really appreciate you keeping up with it and […]

Dear Steph,
From time to time I have a look at your homepage and specially to the blog “Talking about life” I want to tell you some thoughts.
Please note, that I am an Austrian (Vorarlberg, you know it) and English isn’t my language, so I am sure that it isn’t possible for me to say it […]

I started living in Moab almost exactly 12 years ago. Since I was still living in my truck, and Dean was living in a Ford van, and we were sometimes but not always living together, Moab welcomed us like a kindly relative.
