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! My name is Tom, I’m a Product Design student at Pasadena Art Center College of Design. I’m currently working on a project thats focus is on developing protective gear for the year 2017, in class we were told to pick a sport to design some awesome gear for. I recently got into climbing [...]

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 [...]

Hey Steph!! So I’m sure that you get a million emails a day and have very little time for things like this. Anyways…Long story short, today was my first day attempting to lead certify at my local climbing gym in Utah and needless to say it did not go very well. I’ve been a member [...]

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 [...]

Steph, Thanks for posting all the wonderful information on your website and being an inspiration to all women climbers. I am a former climber and found that when I was actively climbing that I was in one of the happiest places in my life. I started and prefer outdoors, partly because I am in a [...]

Hi Steph I admire your unbelievable bravery. I just like to ask you a couple of questions Steph. Did you ever climb the Devils Tower? Were you ever in Ireland? (as I would love to meet you because you are my hero) Did you ever hear of Catherine Destivelle she is a French Climber? Please [...]
