Dear Steph!
I’m Krysia from Budapest, Hungary.
Your book moved me a lot, as well as your blog that I follow regularly.
I started climbing 4 years ago, but don’t climb too often, and now I am almost 26..
This small country hasn’t got big rocks so we go rather to the Slovakian and Polish Tatras, [...]

Hi
Just finished your book and enjoyed every page.Great to see someone who CAN write (who is living in such a rarefied sport as yours) with such honesty and not the usual lightly-veiled macho stuff one normally gets.
Looking forward to your next one. Stay Safe
Best Regards
Terry
Thanks for the good words Terry! I’m very glad you liked [...]

Dear Steph,
I know you get loads of mail from people all over the world, expressing their admiration, support, kinship of you life style, how they’ve been influenced and inspired by your way of thinking. Well, I’ve also been inspired and encouraged by you, although I don’t really know you in person.
So even though [...]

Hi Steph,
I just finished your book “High Infatuation”, in fact, I could hardly put it down at night even when faced with an early wake up alarm…
Your writing style is so refreshing! Rather than reading about how rad a route is, or how the author almost died, or how “easy” it seemed on some 5.13 [...]

Hi Steph,
I am Robert and live in the Slovak republic in Bratislava, the capital. My
hobby is a bit of rock climbing, mountain biking and going to the mountains
(and taking some shots). BTW, It is really great watching your climbing
photos and videos. Moab region must be a nice place to go.
I am quite curious about [...]

Steph
First, congratulations on not only all of your notable achievements but mainly for simply living life on your own terms. Any serious advice for a would be dirt bagger concerning the decision to pack it all in (job, societal expectations, blah blah blah…) and get busy living? Thank you for your time.
Josh
Hi Steph,
I’m right on [...]

Steph,
I want to thank you and let you know how I used your book. I discovered it at ‘Back of Beyond’ on my first trip to Moab. After reading it, I gave it to a young woman whom I met through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. She’s a [...]

Mammut partnered up with the Big City Mountaineers, a nonprofit organization that takes city kids into the outdoors, by doing a fundraiser called Pitches With Pros. Basically, they raffled off their athletes to raise money for BCM, and I was lucky enough to be won by Abbey Leroux!
