The Western Massachusetts Climbers Coalition invites you to join us in celebrating the recent purchase of 70 acres at Farley Ledge! In a brief introduction, we’ll explain the history of this acquisition, our plans to build a parking lot and goals to continue improving access to this beloved climbing destination.
Of course, the main event is watching Girl Climber! Watch the trailer here.
Professional climber Emily Harrington has summited Everest, 8000-meter peaks, and dominated the competition circuit but, her greatest challenge extends beyond the physical. To cement her legacy in the male dominated world of elite rock climbing, she sets her sights on a career-defining 24-hour ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan.
Caught between the pursuit of personal ambition and the ticking biological clock of life, a near-fatal fall forces Emily to reckon with what she’s willing to risk. Equal parts gripping survival story and intimate portrait, Girl Climber isn’t just about breaking records, it’s about breaking barriers. Amongst Yosemite’s legendary boy’s club, Emily isn’t proving she is the best *Girl Climber– she proving she is one of the best. Period.
