Todd Richard Skinner (October 27, 1958 – October 23, 2006)[1] was an American rock climber and expert in big wall climbing. He made the first free ascents of many routes around the world, including his historic first free ascent with Paul Piana in 1988 of the Salathe Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite; it was one of the first-ever big wall climbs at 5.13b (8a), and led to the birth of "free climbing" Yosemite.[2][3]
Skinner's story was told in Jeff Smoot's 2019 book, Hangdog Days.[4]
