* A collection of vivid, intimate essays and prose poetry on the
universal themes of life, love, friendship, personal empowerment,
and more, told through a career in climbing * 40 percent of these
pieces debut here for the first time * Davis has been profiled in
publications including Outside, Men's Journal, W Magazine, and
Sports Illustrated. 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. Today, through courage and
perseverance, Davis is a high-profile athlete whose sponsors have
included Patagonia, Mammut, Clif Bar, Five Ten and Cascade Designs.
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. More than adventure
stories, these pieces reveal Davis' soul. They draw us into her
struggles with safety, independence, ambition, and compassion. By
following the journey of this remarkable woman, we learn what it
means to live a truly adventurous life.
