Join prolific climbers such as Alex Honnald, John Long, Lynn Hill, and many others as they recount their experiences in Yosemite's towering walls.

"Untold stories from Yosemite" was the theme for the 2024 American Alpine Club's Benefit Gala, and the legendary climbers from the region gathered together to create a compilation of their best works for the prompt. This anthology "is going to be a little like sitting around the fire in Camp 4 - swapping yarns and discovering the strength of this community." This opens the conversation to include climbers and perspectives "that have shaped climbing in Yosemite, but don't get talked about enough."

This volume is simply a reminder of who we are as a people and a culture, where we came from, and where we might possibly go. As these stories illustrate, starting in the 1990s with Lynn Hill's first free ascent of The Nose, climbing broke the gender barrier in bold and spectacular fashion. But not until our collective history is written by a wider diversity of people will climbing forge a new and much-needed trail, as only adventure can do. This is where our footprints lead.
