“It felt like an exorcism…”

In her exclusive interview with Climbing, debut author Fallon Rowe discusses her upcoming memoir, Pay No Mind: A Memoir of Climbing, Abuse, and Survival.

In Pay No Mind, set to release on November 25, Utah climber Fallon Rowe recalls her experience with (and ultimate escape from) a controlling and dangerous partner. The story follows Rowe (rhymes with now), then a 19-year-old geology student in northern Utah. When her charismatic new boyfriend convinces her to empty her savings and fly to Patagonia to climb the iconic Fitz Roy, Rowe finds herself fighting for her autonomy, independence, and survival both on and off the mountain.
