Luke Mehall

The Desert Book Launch

Maria’s Bookshop will host an extra special book event celebrating the release of The Desert, Luke Mehall’s fifth and final book in his dirtbag climbing series. A follow up to American Climber, his 2016 memoir, The Desert will recount some 20 years of climbing and the internal and external journeys along the way.

Following his first experience in the desert—a visit to Indian Creek in 1999—the author’s passion for first ascents with his best friends fuels his desire to get to know the area in an intimate way. During this transformation, the Bears Ears National Monument is created by the Obama administration and then dismantled by the Trump administration. While the final decision by the courts is awaited, Mehall contemplates the importance of public lands for the soul of America. The Desert is a definitive, independently published account of a dirtbag climber searching for love, passion, fresh air, and, ultimately an escape from the electronic hyper-connectedness of the modern world.
