Stephanie Forte An unlikely candidate to become a rock climber, in 1992 Stephanie Forte decided to take a break from the fast pace of New York City's fashion word and spend a winter in Aspen, CO before moving to Los Angeles. Falling in love with the mountains and snowboarding, several years later she reluctantly tried rock climbing. Much to her surprise, she fell in love. She never made it to LA, but after dumping over 100 pairs of shoes, she did spend nearly two years climbing on the road, living out of the back of her pick-up truck. Settling in Las Vegas, NV in 1998, she discovered her talent for multi-tasking and redpointed several routes of 5.13+ while working full-time in public relations and developing her freelance writing career. This included the first female ascent of Ghetto Boys, 5.13c, redpointing Screaming Target, 5.13c, and Soul Train, 5.13d, all at Mt. Charleston.
Now a full-time freelance writer / publicist, Stephanie writes and is a regional reporter for Glamour Magazine, a contributing editor for Climbing, and a contributor to Las Vegas and Cerca Magazines. She coordinates the HERA Climb for Life Las Vegas and handles the HERA Foundation's public relations. In her spare time - and when her voice message says she's in a meeting - she goes climbing.
