Girl Climber

Dir. Jon Glassberg | 2025 | 82 mins | English

Follow elite mountaineer Emily Harrington as she sets out to conquer Yosemite’s El Capitan in under 24 hours - one of the most demanding and dangerous ascents in the world.

A five-time US National Champion and one of climbing’s most accomplished athletes, Emily has summited Everest and the planet’s highest peaks. But this challenge is about more than the mountain - it’s about proving that greatness knows no gender. In a sport long dominated by men, she faces the ultimate test: the wall, the clock, and her own limits.

Featuring breathtaking cinematography and appearances from Alex Honnold (Free Solo), Girl Climber flips the script on the traditional climbing documentary - an emotional, edge-of-your-seat journey that’s as moving as it is heart-stopping. Against the majestic backdrop of Yosemite, Emily’s story becomes a portrait of courage, resilience, and what it truly takes to break barriers.

Age Guidence: 12+
