Moab resident Steph Davis is a superstar in the climbing community. But when her husband made a controversial climb of Delicate Arch, the media fallout and the toll on her marriage left her without a partner, a career, a source of income...or a purpose. Accompanied by her beloved dog, Fletch, she set off in search of a new identity and discovered skydiving.
Though falling out of an airplane is antithetical to a climber’s control, she discovered new hope and joy in letting go. Steph Davis’ book “Learning to Fly: An Uncommon Memoir of Human Flight, Unexpected Love, and One Amazing Dog,” is out in paperback, with a new epilogue. We’ll revisit our conversation from 2013 on Thursday’s Access Utah.
