With the pressure to prove herself in a male-dominated sport, professional climber Emily Harrington sets an ambitious goal: a 24-hour ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan. This gripping Girl Climber documentary follows one of the world’s top female climbers as she takes on one of the most iconic big-wall routes in the history of elite rock climbing.

Emily Harrington has summited Everest, climbed multiple 8000-meter peaks, and competed at the highest level of the sport. But El Capitan represents a different challenge. Caught between personal ambition, long-term risk, and life beyond climbing, a near-fatal fall forces her to confront what she is truly willing to sacrifice.

Set against the granite walls of Yosemite National Park, Girl Climber is both a high-stakes survival story and an intimate portrait of a woman breaking barriers in extreme sports. Among Yosemite’s legendary boys’ club, Emily Harrington is not proving she is the best female climber — she is proving she is one of the best climbers. Period.

Featuring leading figures from the world of rock climbing, including Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell, Lynn Hill, Conrad Anker, Hilaree Nelson, and Adrian Ballinger, this Red Bull Studios film connects generations of climbers and the evolving legacy of women in climbing.
