Stories to get you out there. Each week, listen to the best of Patagonia’s longform stories, read aloud by our contributors and coworkers.
When Sonnie Trotter first tried climbing at age 15, he knew he’d found the path he was meant to follow. Now, 30 years later, he’s looking back on a life spent pushing himself and the sport, chasing adventures in wild places.
His new memoir, Uplifted, includes stories that span his climbing career, including his legendary first free ascent of the 5.14 trad testpiece Cobra Crack, climbs with friends Tommy Caldwell, Chris Sharma and Alex Honnold, and reflections on risk as a husband and father. One of the strongest and most positive climbers of our time, Sonnie manages to hold even his gnarliest experiences lightly and his writing offers hard-earned wisdom with the personal and friendly delivery of tales told around the campfire. Listen to an excerpt from Uplifted, read by Jack Schlinkert and written by Sonnie Trotter.This episode of Patagonia Stories was produced by Patagonia and Cosmic Standard.
