JCPC 174 Steph Davis part 1
28/03/2025 Duración: 01h30minThis star of US adventure climbing shone brightly in the early 2000s with big free ascents on El Cap at a time when few ventured there without aid. Big solos, desert sandstone crack testpieces, expeditions to Kyrgyzstan, Baffin and Paragonia, amongst others, made her one of the most experienced adventureclimbers of her day. Later years saw the adventures continue with the embracing of base jumping and wingsuit flying. Beyond all these has lain a thoughtful and considered approach, always ready to self check and ask twice. Skills that surely came to the fore during tough times around loss of sponsorship and latterly, personal tragedy. Steph lays it all out with a thousand laughs along the way. Such fun, so honest. Check this, part one of this two-part interview. Support in this episode from Summit Financial Services.
