Valley of Giants

Valley of Giants tells the stories of the women integral to Yosemite's climbing history.  Often overlooked, the contributions of women in the Yosemite Valley to climbing are not to be trifled with, from climbing feats, advancement of climbing equipment, and bold new first ascents.

This book is a collection of stories gathered from primary sources, journals, essays and achievable materials to paint a picture of the contributions of women who have helped shape the climbing in Yosemite we know today. From Lynn Hill and Beth Rodden to Steph Davis and Kate Rutherford, you’ll read recollections of daring feats, dogged determination and pure exhilaration.
