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, how’re you? I’m Edoardo Valleferro from Cortina, I meet you at the end of july after your conference for Cortinaincroda.

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