Tavis Campbell and Sam Cox published Stepping Up, their guidebook for The Ridge. Their first edition sold out in 2008, so they went ahead and published their second edition a few months ago. The book is 102 pages, with 90 greyscale photos that include spirited images of Scot Schmidt and Doug Coombs. The amount of detail is stunning — obviously of biblical import for anyone aspiring to be a denizen of “The Ridge.”
