Wingsuit Dreams

Steph! My name is Jared — hello from Connecticut!  I’m writing to you after feeling inspired by a dream, your book, and all of the people who have written to you in the past. My dream involved us climbing and flying wing-suits.  It was one of the coolest and most satisfying dreams I have ever had.  [...]

The Perfect Circle

The Perfect Circle

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. [...]

School of Rocks

Dear Steph, Just wanted to drop a quick note to say what a true inspiration you are. In high school I went out every summer to rockclimb in Colorado and loved it. I am also a musician and have chosen to focus on the music for the last ten years but I am ready to [...]

In the photo, he was sitting on some rocks reading a copy of High Infatuation, which was pretty amazing to me! I was very worried about him…not everyone comes home safe from service. I sent him some posters [...]

Base Escape

Base Escape

Greetings, this is in no way meant for any bad intent! Anybody trapped in a high rise would love another option. If this is a re-hashed subject please disregard. Someone in your field I’m sure has already thought of this, to sell base jumping (alternate escape) chutes or some kind of modified gear to anyone [...]

Normal Girl Activities

Steph, I just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks. We don’t know each other, and I’ll probably never have the privilege of ever actually meeting you. But on behalf of my 6 year old little girl, thanks for showing that girls can do “cool stuff” too. My 6 year old, Haleigh, is [...]
