Morgan McGlashon (professional mountain guide) and Caite Zeliff (professional skier) picked obscure paths. Paths that are winding and that sometimes go backwards, sideways and upstream. Those paths collided and became intertwined. As professional snow sport athletes they understood each other, respected each other and truly saw each other's potential. When their careers took off they found themselves spending less time in the mountains together but they always dreamt of one day coming back together on a proper adventure. On a 10 day expedition in Alaska, the two reconnect. This is a lighthearted account of the magic of friendship and how it can shape your life.

In a profound act of historical resurrection, modern-day adventurer Elise Wortley straps on her 19th-century hobnail boots and bonnet to celebrate history’s forgotten female explorers, whose absence from history continues to have knock on effects today.

Armed only with the gear available to Henriette d’Angeville in 1838, Elise attempts to recreate the first female ascent of Mont Blanc — Europe’s most iconic peak to understand the lack of female representation in the the mountains. In doing so she also explores her own relationship with the outdoors and how its impacted a long battle with debilitating anxiety.

This film was made by an entire female crew from the director, mountain guides through to all post-production.
