Padma!


Padma: "I tend to sleep in the nude... I'm a sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting."

Steph Davis
Climber Steph Davis has been profiled in publications including Outside, Men’s Journal, W Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. She has made first ascents in Pakistan, Patagonia, Baffin Island, and Kyrgyzstan. She was the first woman to free climb the Salathe wall on El Capitan and the first woman to summit Torre Egger in Patagonia. Davis’ writing has appeared in Climbing and Rock & Ice, among other publications. She is sponsored by Patagonia, Clif Bar, Five Ten and Cascade Designs.Married to climber Dean Potter, she makes her home in Moab, Utah and Yosemite, California.

Dean Potter
Dean Potter is the only person to free climb Yosemite's Half Dome and El Cap in a single day. He also made the first free ascent of Mount Watkins, Yosemite's other Grade VI wall—as well as its first one-day ascent. He has set multiple speed records in Yosemite. In Patagonia, Dean made the first-ever free solo of Fitzroy, via the Supercanaleta, and then followed it with the Compressor Route on Cerro Torre, becoming the first to solo both peaks. He topped off those feats by free soloing the first ascent of Californian Roulette on Fitzroy, a route that had been tried since 1969. In the last twelve years, Dean has also been at the forefront of slack lining (walking on a length of springy nylon line, often at dizzying heights).

Steph is the reason I will be taking crack classes soon.
