n April, we filmed the opening ceremony at the Auburn Quarry for an outdoor non-profit organization called CRAGS (Climbing Resource Advocates for Greater Sacramento). The local organization was founded in 2008 by a group of determined climbers who share a passion for rock climbing outdoors and protecting the places that have available climbing. They're affiliated with both local and national organizations such as Rocknasium Climbing Gym, Pipeworks, Constant Clothing, Access Fund, and The American Alpine Club, which are all equal advocates for preserving these places for climbers.

When we went about filming for this trip, we wanted to focus on the individual’s experience with the route, rather than glamorizing ratings and whether it was “sent.” By doing this we hope to take a very subjective, individual activity and show how getting shut down, persevering, and the movement in climbing are all shared between different people and projects.
