Em

Emilie Pellerin is likely the best climber you’ve never heard of. Knowing this might be true for much of the climbing world, friend and filmmaker, Alexa Fay, sets out to make things right. In her directorial debut film “Em”, Alexa and Emilie share how one woman’s natural ability, positive problem solver’s mindset, and commitment to the ‘dirtbag lifestyle’ has turned her into a ‘yet to be known force’ in climbing. This film puts Emilie front and centre with her trip to Spain, her onsight climb of Squamish’s iconic and notoriously difficult “The Shadow” (5.13a), and through her latest challenge, “La Zébrée”, a 5.14a trad route featuring a soaking wet overhanging crack that has sent the strongest climbers home packing.
