Backcountry.com asked me to go to New York last month to film this interview with Outside TV. It was a short trip, but I also got to meet my publisher from Simon and Schuster for the first time, and walk around and look at some tall buildings…

Hi Steph, I’ve been spending a lot of time lately reading your blog, and have been working up the nerve to e-mail. I’m 21, about to graduate college and hit the road, with my whole life ahead of me and a world of possibilities, and am so unbelievably excited for everything that that future holds. [...]

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.  [...]

Steph,  I just read High Infatuation. It came to me at the perfect time. I have climbed since I was 13 and always dreamed of dropping everything else to pursue that passion, but it never seemed possible. When I moved to Flagstaff, AZ from Arkansas for college I decided that it was time time to [...]

Hey Steph, Was wondering if you might be able to assist me? I’m looking to write a proposal for an expedition grant and haven’t had much luck in finding templates or examples.
