Girl Climber

Written By David Schnitzer

Emily Harrington has summited Everest and tackled some of the world’s most dangerous peaks, but her next goal may be the most defining: a 24-hour ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan. In a sport still dominated by men, she’s not just climbing for herself, she’s breaking barriers. When a near-fatal fall threatens everything, Emily must confront the risks of ambition, the weight of legacy, and the personal cost of pushing beyond limits. This intimate documentary captures both the thrill of survival and the vulnerability behind strength.
