A little over a year ago, just before my birthday, I was seized with the urge to free solo Jah Man on Sister Superior and base jump off it. In 2008, I free soloed the North Face of Castleton and jumped off the top, and it remains one of my favorite adventures of all time. [...]

Hi Steph- I have to start off by saying you have truly inspired me… clearly as this is my first piece of “fan mail” EVER! When I first started climbing I saw The Sharp End and was totally blown away when I heard you talking about and acknowledging fear. This got me thinking about all [...]

Hello Steph. Just wanted to say that clip of your free solo on Castleton was truly inspirational! Thanks! James Taylor www.jamestaylorsurfing.com

Thanks! –Dave Hi Dave They were incredible learning experiences, and I am lucky to have had [...]
