Dropping Molly

Climber Molly Mitchell is constantly seeking new challenges in her sport—but also self-affirmation. The American gravitates toward risky routes, such as Crank It (5.13c) in Boulder Canyon, Colorado.

Molly aims to climb Crank It in a trad climbing style, deliberately choosing not to use the existing bolts—even though they are there for a good reason. After a severe climbing accident, Molly begins to question whether her sport plays too significant a role in her life and decides to confront her inner conflicts in a new way.
