Rock climber Steph Davis has been scaling walls for more than two decades. In that time she became the first woman to free climb the Salathe Wall on Yosemite’s El Cap, and she has free soloed the Diamond on Longs Peak in Colorado four times. These days, when she gets to the top of a cliff, she takes the quick way down—she BASE jumps. For the past ten years she has also been vegan—and says it has made her a better athlete. It sounds counterintuitive to our conventional understanding of how to fuel performance. But Davis says it works. Below Steph answers some of our questions about her extraordinary experiences.
