Tobin, The Stonemasters, and Me 1970-1980

This book tells—for the first time—the story of Tobin Sorenson, the boldest climber of the famous California Stonemasters. How a teenager from the suburban sprawl of southern California became, at 25 years old, the best all-around climber in the world is an improbable and heart-breaking chronicle of ambition, religion, and love. Alex Honnold, in his book, “Alone on the Wall,” tells of the climbing heroes of his youth: “It was the self-described Stonemasters…that I admired, John Long, Jim Bridwell, Billy Westbay, Tobin Sorenson, and their buddies.”
