Climbing the Slovak Direct was a pivotal experience in my climbing career. So it was really fun to be able to reflect upon it 22 years after the climb, and help those that have climbed it in a new record time appreciate and celebrate their own experience. Step by step, swing by swing, climbing’s deepest experiences are not about climbing, but about understanding our fears, our loves, our courage, and who we are as humans in this rich tapestry of experiences. –Steve House
