Steve House is an American alpinist and mountain guide, born on August 4, 1970 in La Grande, Oregon. Known for his light and fast alpine style, he has made notable ascents on mountains such as Nanga Parbat and K7. In 2005, along with Vince Anderson, he climbed the Central Pillar of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, a feat that earned them the prestigious Piolet d'Or award. House has also been an ambassador for the Patagonia brand and is co-founder of the Uphill Athlete training platform.
Among his most outstanding works are Beyond the Mountain (2009), which received the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature, and Training for the New Alpinism (2014), co-written with Scott Johnston. In 2019, along with Johnston and Kilian Jornet, he published Training for the Uphill Athlete, focused on training for mountain runners and ski mountaineers. These publications combine personal experiences with training principles, becoming key references for mountain athletes.
