About the Author
Yusuf Daneshyar was born and raised near St. Louis, Missouri, and discovered climbing in 2004. He spent most of his formative climbing years at Jackson Falls. Eventually, he traveled to many other climbing sites, which only confirmed his view that the best sport climbing in the country was found in a small canyon in southern Illinois.
