New From FalconGuides® – Women Who Dare:

North America’s Most Inspiring Women Climbers

 “This book offers an inspiring look at the world of female climbing, capturing the heart of the sport from a perspective not fully explored before—that of the women climbers themselves. Working with Chris Noble on this project was an absolute pleasure. He helped me to reflect on and articulate why climbing has become my life’s passion. I highly recommend this delightful read.”

Simultaneously Japan’s Rock and Snow Magazine featured another of my photographs on their October cover.  This time it was the lovely and talented Sasha DiGiulian demonstrating “Climbing Joy” while swinging from a hold on “Golden Boy” (13b) at Kentucky’s Red River Gorge.  Rock and Snow liked this shot so much they also made a poster of it, and featured an entire gallery of my women rock climbing images inside the magazine.

There’s no doubt we’re going to see and hear lots more about Sasha in the coming years. Not long after these magazines went to press Sasha sent the hardest sport route ever climbed by an American women— a 14d in the Red River Gorge.  Read all about that ascent as well as Sasha’s other accomplishments in an upcoming issue of America’s Rock and Ice Magazine in a profile by Executive Editor Alison Osius.
