About the Authors

FABIO ELLI has a real job as a chemical engineer and lives in the north of Italy near Como, where, as of this writing, he is currently confined to his house under lockdown for COVID-19. Fabio was introduced to climbing and the mountains by his dad when he was 14, and since then has courted his climbing addiction with bodacious big wall ascents throughout Europe and North America.

PETER ZABROK started playing with ropes as a caver then began climbing more than 40 years ago. Pete is a self-unemployed financial advisor and dirtbag wall rat. This climber is one of the nicest guys you will encounter out there, and he’ll play you a tune on any piano he sees while drinking margaritas like an athlete chugs Gatorade. He’s, like, Canadian, eh? But he can be found in Yosemite every spring and fall, if they ever reopen the border (another CoVID fall-out). At home in Ontario, Debbie, Peter’s wife, tries to keep him honest as they climb ice and rock together.
