The weekly toast commences. It has come to my attention this morning that our friend and ally in climbing and fun, Steph Davis, has yet again wowed us with soloing/base jumping escapades. Stefka is a desert goddess, granite devouring, vegan whirlwind that has an infectious personality which we love!

Our protaginast of all things windgate and towering has made her home in the Moab region for many a year. I don’t know the exact number of times she has ascended Castleton tower, but it has to be in the hundreds, so it’s not hard to believe that she went to solo up there, she does it often. However, the route chosen this time, The North Face, is not your typical romp up the North Chimney. Remember folks, we’re talking desert sandstone/calcite bullshit. However, Steph is no stranger to long and difficult solos. This summer she managed to solo The Diamond four times!!! Doing the Casual Route twice and Pervertical Sanctuary twice was astounding. But that is Steph, soulful, fun, and pretty damn cute to boot.

Aside from her typical solo affairs, Steph has recently been sending difficult lines in the Moab Area, like, Concepcion. Despite being plauged by injuries this winter, Steph continues to seek adventure and have fun doing it. Keep up with her antics via her blog, which is in our links as well. Raise your glasses, it’s Wednesday! Cheers Steph!

Photo: Highinfatuation The classic pic of Steph soloing Scarface in Indian Creek. I never told Steph this, but this pic was the single influence for me and Limit’s first trip to the Creek. We had thrown around the idea of Hueco and we had only climbed together a couple times in the gym. On one of those occasions we went to the water fountain and looming over us was this giant poster of Steph soloing Scarface. Holy Shit, we took a look and both knew we had to go to this Indian Creek place and try that route. Two days later we were on our way and have been in love with the Creek ever since. So, special thanks to Steph for inspiring us!
