Madaleine Sorkin undertakes an intimate and creative journey to climb the most difficult rock climb above 13,500 feet in the world: the Dunn-Westbay Direct(5.14 a/b) on Longs Peak(Neniisoteyou'u) in Colorado. Captured entirely in real life, this film kaleidoscopes 4,320 frames of original artwork, music, and poetry. It’s a climbing film unlike anything you've seen before.

As I had not yet seen it done, I wanted to try to animate a climbing documentary to see if this technique would unlock new creative potential for how we tell these types of stories.
