Letting Go Of The Grade

Four women travel to Mexico to accomplish one goal: to summit Las Agujas (The Spires) of El Potrero Chico. What begins as a trip to conquer a climb becomes something more meaningful. Along the way, they make discoveries about themselves, their relationship to climbing, and the cultural barriers preventing them from self-actualization. The grade, or difficulty of the climb, becomes irrelevant as they overcome personal battles on the ascent.
