This film documents a group of four women when they 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.
