Throughout her life, Steph Davis has chosen to take risks, to trust her impulses, to make decisions based on what feels right inside -- and never look back. Studying to be a concert pianist, she quit music the day she was introduced to rock climbing. Later, she abandoned the respectability of university life and pursuit of a law degree to become a "dirtbag climber," living out of her grandmother's hand-me-down Oldsmobile sedan with Fletcher, a heeler mix dog. In High Infatuation , Davis writes on the universal themes of life, love, friendship, personal empowerment, and more, told through a career in climbing. We wait with her in the tent through weeks of rain, wind, snow, and sleet, hoping for the weather to improve in the mountains of Patagonia, then race with her up a towering rock wall of Yosemite's El Capitan in a single day. Black and white photos. Davis quickly fell in love with climbing and moved to Colorado for grad school, learning to trad and alpine climb in places like the Diamond, Indian Creek, and Yosemite. Written more like a journal, chapters range from climbing stories to personal vignettes and are not all connected in chronology or theme. Numerous black and white photos add character and context. In Baffin, Davis spends a month on a wall with two friends, and her writing becomes calmer as time under the midnight sun ticks by without a clock. As her world-view widens, the writing becomes richer with descriptions of people and interactions, humor and humility. There, close to the war-ravaged Kashmir region, she connects with local Muslim women. Between climbs and expeditions, Davis ruminates on her complex relationship with climber Dean Potter, whom she eventually marries. While their emotionally charged relationship is trying, they do come together for some incredible climbs, including the first one-day ascent of Torre Egger in Patagonia. When Davis moves away from expedition climbing to harder free routes, she encounters a new set of challenges.

Feb 07, Fern rated it it was amazing. I loved this book! For such a short book it was a long read. Her writing is spacious, and every word counts. I was pausing a lot to take in her stories and reflections. She spoke to safety and the unknown really beautifully. As a female climber, a lot of the things people say to deter people from climbing "oh it's really dangerous" get augmented by how society places a lot of protection around women, protection that can be really limiting to our growth and new experiences. She talks honestly abo I loved this book! She talks honestly about the risks of climbing, but also wholeheartedly about her ongoing relationship with it. This book also really broke a lot of boundaries for me in terms of who the "real" or "good" climbers are. She acknowledges how difficult climbing is for her, mentally, physically, and emotionally, so now I avoid putting other climbers up on pedestals. The way her motivation and reasons for committing to the sport changed over time has helped me see that our relationship to climbing can change, and we can just meet ourselves where we are with the sport. Without spoiling the end, she kind of starts over in an amazing humbling way. I loved the mixture of climbing, philosophy, and human appreciation in this book. It was also cool to see her stories in more alpine areas and on big walls. Read it! Dec 15, Amy rated it really liked it. Finished the book in 24 hours; a very fast read. I actually met and climbed with Steph at Carderock in MD when we were both students new climbers and in colllege at the U of MD, before she moved CO to pursue climbing and finish undergrad. That was a long time ago! She was super fun and I am still amazed by her especially after reading her book. She is so much fun, so smart, engaging, and is an absolute joy to climb with! I suppose I'm biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and so did my hu Finished the book in 24 hours; a very fast read. I suppose I'm biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and so did my husband. Apr 11, Russ rated it really liked it. I was in Pakistan in when I learned that Steph, Dean and Jimmy were climbing just a few valleys over. She wasn't married at the time so of course I wrote her a note, handed it to my porter who passed it along to her porter. That's as close as I ever got. The book is a good read. It's rare that I'll read a book in one day but I did with this one. It was differently paced, the flow was somewhat random, but in that it seemed poetic and a bit like a climber. What I liked the most was the I was in Pakistan in when I learned that Steph, Dean and Jimmy were climbing just a few valleys over. What I liked the most was the way that Steph described some of her own self-doubts, thoughts of others and how she overcame those internal voices. I like that she incorporated her spiritual longings and hope she finds that still small voice in the swirl of the many others she mentioned. Feb 11, sendann rated it it was ok. This book doesn't much live up to its title and tag line. It's a disjointed collection of stories SD wrote for climbing magazines, with some vaguely-connection making biographical stories in there as well. The stories are interesting enough, but the whole thing has this pervading sense of superficiality. Things happen that seem to bear some serious reflection, and maybe that reflection happened in life, but the journey isn't on these pages. Overall it feels like a rushed job, collect the pieces, This book doesn't much live up to its title and tag line. View 2 comments. Mar 24, Sigrid Avenido rated it really liked it.

    POWER(linear): Units 10 & 11 Dr John P. Cise, Professor of Physics, Austin Community College, 1212 Rio Grande St., Austin Tx. 78701 [email protected] & NY Times May 17, 2015 by John Branch Dean Potter, Extreme Climber, Dies in Base-Jumping Accident at Yosemite Dean Potter, one of the generation’s top rock climbers and charismatic personalities, was one of two men killed in a BASE-jumping accident at Yosemite National Park in California on Saturday. Potter, 43, and the other man, Graham Hunt, 29, leapt near dusk off Taft Point, a promontory about 3,000 feet above the floor of Yosemite Valley, not far from the iconic granite masses of El Capitan and Half Dome. Flying in wingsuits, they tried to clear a notch in the granite cliffs but instead smashed into the rocks in quick succession. “It’s tremendously sad,” said Gauthier, an occasional climbing partner of Potter, who lived in Yosemite. “Dean was part of this community and had such an impact on climbing. He was a luminary and in the pantheon of climbing gods.” INTRODUCTION: Half Dome mountain at left in Yosemite National Park is 4800 feet from valley floor to summit.

  • New Routes, Major Linkups, and Speed Ascents
    AAC Publications Summary: new routes, major linkups, and speed ascents California, Yosemite National Park In addition to the routes described in more detail in this section, as well as Mikey Schaefer’s Father Time route on Middle Cathedral [see feature article in this AAJ], there are a few other significant new routes to report from Yosemite Valley in 2012. Luis “Lucho” Rivera and Dan McDevitt free-climbed Romulan Freebird (10 pitches, V 5.12b/c) on Fifi Buttress, across from the Leaning Tower. McDevitt first established the route as an aid climb in 1999. The free version is described as a harder version of the Rostrum, with thin and sustained 5.12 cracks. Additionally, Alex Honnold set out to free the 1,550’ west face of the Leaning Tower, freeing the lower portion of the wall directly via a hard slab he called A Gift From Wyoming (550’, 3 pitches, 5.13c), in honor of the late Todd Skinner, who originally projected the upper west face. The upper portion, a potential free version of the aid route Jesus Built My Hotrod, is estimated at hard 5.14 or even 5.15 and awaits a successful redpoint. Video #2: BD athlete Alex Honnold making the first ascent of A Gift From Wyoming (5.13) on Yosemite's Leaning Tower from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo. Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell completed the first free one-day ascent of the “Yosemite Triple,” which linked the south face of Mt. Watkins, Freerider on El Capitan, and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome—about 7,000’ vertical—in a combined time of 21:15 from the base of Mt.

  • Genre Bending Narrative, VALHALLA Tells the Tale of One Man’S Search for Satisfaction, Understanding, and Love in Some of the Deepest Snows on Earth
    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes. Filmmaker: Logan Bockrath 2010 Brower Youth Awards Six beautiful films highlight the activism of The Earth Island Institute’s 2011 Brower Youth Award winners, today’s most visionary and strategic young environmentalists.

Une petite merveille d'une trs, trs grande alpiniste !Par Eric VolaNon seulement Steph Davis est une trs trs grande grande alpiniste, mais elle est minemment sympathique. Toujours directe, franche et naturelle elle passe d'une aventure une autre, en rcits sobres et qu'elle sait rendre elliptiques, c'est dire sans toujours donner le droulement complet d'un vnement ou la fin d'un conflit. Peut-tre ne le fait-elle pas exprs, mais c'est trs habile de susciter ainsi l'imagination du lecteur pour des choses souvent triviales. Et en plus elle adore les chiens qui manifestement prennent le plus grand plaisir partager ses aventures de la SDF de la grimpe qu'elle est. Par les aspects de son caractre, mais aussi par ses solos de grandes parois, son extraordinaire tnacit; et sa trs grande libert, elle me fait penser en une gnration plus jeune notre 'grande' Catherine Destivelle.Ce qui m'a le plus frapp sont ses rflexions sur sa passion qui montrent qu'elle a acquis une vritable sagesse, alors qu'elle n'est qu' mi-parcours (enfin, je l'espre) de sa vie d'alpiniste.

The activity often occurs in protected areas where agency managers are charged with the inherently conflicting mandate of protecting the natural environment and facilitating high quality recreational experiences. Effective management of such mountaineering environs is predicated on meaningful understanding of the users’ motivations, expectations and behaviours.

  • Learning to Fly: an Uncommon Memoir of Human Flight, Unexpected Love, and One Amazing Dog by Steph Davis
    AAC Publications Learning to Fly: An Uncommon Memoir of Human Flight, Unexpected Love, and One Amazing Dog By Steph Davis Learning to Fly: An Uncommon Memoir of Human Flight, Unexpected Love, and One Amazing Dog. Steph Davis. Simon & Schuster, 2013. 304 pages. Hardcover. $24.99 Steph Davis’ second book picks up shortly after the release of her first, High Infatuation: A Climber’s Guide to Love and Gravity, in which readers move through her childhood, her introduction to adventure sports, and some of her more notable climbing feats (a one-day ascent of Torre Egger and free- climbing Salathé Wall, among others). In Learning To Fly, we meet Davis as she leaves for a countrywide tour to promote her first book. She is managing the fallout from what she refers to as “the incident”: her then-husband Dean Potter’s controversial 2006 ascent of Delicate Arch in the Utah desert, which led to a media uproar, a heated community-wide discussion, and both Potter and Davis being dropped by their primary sponsors. By page 13, she writes that she “was without a marriage, without a paycheck, and pretty much without a career. In a life defined by risk and uncertainty, almost all of my anchors were gone.” So Davis did what the rest of us wish we could do when we get fed up with climbing: She took her dog, Fletch, and her pickup truck to Colorado and spent a summer learning to skydive. Living on savings, she couch-surfs near the drop zone, jumps out of airplanes as often as possible, and finds a new life philosophy: “When death holds no more fear and when you’ve lost the things most precious to you, there’s nothing more to be afraid of.” By the end of summer she has grown to love the feeling of falling, come to terms with her failed marriage, and found her way back to climbing with a free-solo of the Diamond on Longs Peak.
