Stephanie "Steph" Davis (born November 4, 1973) is an American rock climber, BASE jumper, and wingsuit flyer. She is one of the world's leading climbers,[1][2][3] having completed some of the hardest routes in the world.[2] She has free soloed up to 5.11a (6b+),[4] and was the first woman to summit all the peaks of the Fitzroy Range in Patagonia, the second woman to free climb El Capitan in a day, the first woman to free climb the Salathė Wall on El Capitan, the first woman to free solo The Diamond on Longs Peak in Colorado, and the first woman to summit Torre Egger.

Davis is also a blogger who writes about her interests in climbing, BASE jumping, yoga, and veganism.[5][6]
