Hey Steph, First off just want to say that I love following your blog and admire how you live your life! I was wondering if you had any advice for me. There is a finger crack in my climbing gym that I have been working on for a while. The bottom portion is completely vertical [...]

Hi Steph, You could say that you taught me how to climb cracks. I read your “how to” a while back, and keep referring to it as I progress. I even learned how to tape through you! Needless to say, you’ve unknowingly helped me quite a bit, and I am so thankful!  Anyways, I am [...]

Hi Steph, My name is Matt, I’m Director of Technology at a school here in PA. (www.freedomareaschools.org) I’ve gone bungee jumping and skydiving before, but have never really rock climbed. Do you ever instruct people or take anybody with you on some of your adventures? Are you single? I would think any guy would want [...]

Hey Steph  I’m 22 and currently reside in Bozeman, Montana where I spend my summers collecting beetles for bio-control of noxious weeds, and working with pine beetle removal; however the winter is wearing on me. I have never been down to Moab – I’m looking for advice on where to find some dirt-bag camping spots [...]

I have just looked at your page and wanted to tell you that i am inspired.  my husband died a year and half ago in the mountains.  he taught me love the mountains and to climb.  we have been very pationate about the sport and have planned most of our trips or holiday’s around climbing.  [...]

Basically everything is going on here in Moab in the next few weeks….and fall has come with perfect temperatures for everything! Climbers, come to the Indian Creek clean up and party hosted by Friends of Indian Creek on September 24. Everyone is meeting at the Donnelly Canyon parking lot in the morning, and working at [...]

Hey Girl! What’s up with ABC.com using your picture in their ad for Expedition Impossible? If you go to their home page, I swear that’s you climbing an Indian Creek splitter. Are you involved with that TV show or are they hijacking your likeness? I was excited at first. Thought there might be a TV [...]

Hi Steph, After a winter of learning to climb indoor cracks (wood, plastic and whatever unearthly material they use at Momentum), I’m anxious to try my hand (and foot) in stone at the Creek. Although I’m now pretty decent at clambering up human made cracks, I have no delusions that I can/should lead anything in [...]

Hey Steph, I saw a photo on your Facebook page recently and it looked like you were wearing the Five Ten Projects on a desert crack climb (I think on Castleton). I thought that was interesting- a soft bouldering shoe for crack climbs. Do you wear those often in the desert? Samuel Hi Samuel, The [...]
