A memoir of sex, angst, and rocks, Turn to Stone chronicles one woman’s ascent—on walls of stone and within herself—as she faces her demons and finds freedom and power in the raw and wild adventure of rock climbing.

Down on the ground, it was hard to connect, hard to attach, hard to untangle, hard to let go. But up here, I understood. Up here, I could make it good.

Broken by an abusive relationship, Emily Meg Weinstein impulsively tries rock climbing on a California road trip, following strangers into the vertical world. Soon, she is consumed by her addiction to the freedom she feels when she’s up on the wall. Holding on to the rocks, she is free from societal constraints and expectations, free from her own sorrows and longings.

Raw and dark, but also funny, Weinstein describes the steep learning curve of becoming a climber, spending weeks at a time sleeping in the back of her Subaru, and a long, dark night stuck on top of a mountain. As she ascends, Weinstein faces her demons, finding power and grace in risk and adventure. Like Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, but in the vertical, or William Finnegan’s Barbarian Days, if lived by a Jewish woman from Long Island, Turn to Stone tells the story of a journey into nature that becomes a crucible of self-discovery.

Against a tapestry of van-dwellers, anarchists, and Jedi-like Stonemasters, Weinstein explores a world where each leap of faith is an existential lesson. From living on the edge, stepping into the unknown, and falling through thin air, Emily learns to forgive her own failures, heal her deepest wounds, and find courage in the face of fear. Throwing herself at walls of stone, she learns what it means to be human. Fitting her body into the rocks’ broken places, she makes herself whole. Biografías y Memorias Mujeres Divertido

I loved this book. As a female climber who learned to climb trad in the early 1990’s there was so much I could relate to. Not everything, but a lot. In this memoir, Emily is funny, insightful, honest to a fault, but never gives up on who she is and what she wants. She makes her way through life transforming from mousy victim to confident climber. We can’t ever really escape who we are, but we can find an escape in the mountains and canyons and crags. Personal growth is personal and I’m glad Emily was willing to share her journey with compassion, bravery, and humility.

I liked how she described her outdoor adventure from the intitia perspective of a noob to a seasoned rock climber.

Her infectious voice and tone.

I finished it hoping there was going to be something more than a privileged white woman roughing it but unfortunately that was just it.

Self important and Mundane
