19. FGA: Climbing

Professional climber Emily Harrington has conquered Everest, the eight-thousandths and dominated the competition cycle, but her biggest challenge goes beyond the physical realm. To perpetuate his legacy in the male-dominated world of elite rock climbing, he decides within 24 hours, defining his career, to climb El Capitan in Yosemite.

Torn between the pursuit of personal ambition and a ticking biological clock, Emily, after a near-fatal fall, must consider what she is willing to risk.

At the legendary boys club in Yosemite, Emily doesn't prove she's the best *Girl Climber — she proves she's one of the best. Dot.
