Steph Davis is an American who goes beyond the limits. She likes to take risks, let her instincts guide her and follow her heart. Though unrivalled, there is something deeply human about her place in the world of mountaineering. In this book, she shares stories of her early climbing days as well as some of the adventures that have shaped her career. Admirably, she also makes a sincere effort to explain what compels her to climb, jump off walls, and fly in a wingsuit; "For me, climbing has always been more than just climbing." With its sensitivity and frankness, it's no wonder that this book is held in such high regard in The United States. With its intimate, poetic tone, it almost reads like a series of journal entries. What's more, it manages to reconcile the desire to push oneself to the limits with the universal values of love, friendship, intimacy, and fulfilment. At its heart, it is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Pages: 184 Language: French Size: 22 x 14 cm Show more
