Hi Steph. I have been climbing for 2 years now in northern england. I mainly boulder and have a great local wall which is huge and you can traverse on it all day long ! I haven’t rope climbed yet both indoors or out. My question is how do you build such endurance that you [...]

Hi Steph, The other day I came across a yahoo article concerning ’10 awesome careers’, and I ran into a tid bit section about your rock climbing career. After checking out your website and what I’ve learned about you through that source, I have to say it’s easy to see why you are an inspiration [...]

Dear Steph, Thanks for all your great videos and blogs. You keep me inspired. Since I was a young kid in the sixties, it has always been my dream to just be able to hike the Keyhole route up Longs peak. I’ve tried 4 times and failed for one reason or another. Got to the [...]

Hi Steph, given your level of experience and ability I presume you’ve had some injuries in your climbing career. Just wondering if you’ve had any rotator cuff problems and if so, what advice you could give to fixing them (I know patience is probably the best advice but I already know!). I have tendonitis of [...]

Hi Steph! First, I love your blog–you’re awesome! I admire you as both an athlete and a vegan. I’ve been climbing [indoor] since January (I live in Louisiana and there are no rocks anywhere) and I have been vegan since March. I found your blog searching for other vegan climbers… Unfortunately, courtesy of an overly [...]

Hi Steph, I am a climber based in Ireland and am currently training to be a yoga teacher, qualifying in September. I am really keen to provide yoga classes for climbers. I have read your blog and was just wondering would you or have you ever run workshops for yoga with a climbing focus. I [...]

My brother once had a 2 sheet plywood wall in the living room of his house, when he was in college in Missouri. It was steep, so it kind of took up the whole room. I wish I had photos. I’ve seen more than one bedroom wall too! I’d love to see more small wall [...]

Hi Steph– Just looking for a little advice. I’ve been climbing quite a bit lately, a lot indoors, though I’d rather be outdoors more and I’m hoping to work through a flat spot in my climbing, at least in terms of numbers. I learned to climb many years ago on granite slabs and faces, and [...]

My friend Ben lived in Moab for a season working as a skydiving tandem master. Now he’s working at a dropzone in the midwest, missing our climbing and base jumping adventures. Never one to be daunted by adversity, he decided to build a climbing wall inside the 5th wheel trailer he is living in, and [...]

Hi Steph, I want to pick your brain about training techniques, if I may. I started climbing about 6 months ago in Minnesota and recently moved to Turkey, so while most of my climbing experience has been indoors due to snow overload, it won’t be for long. I’m so new at climbing but I really [...]
