Molly Mitchell is a professional rock climber who lives in Boulder, CO. At 28 years old, she has already achieved a lifelong goal of climbing a 5.14 traditional route with her 2019 send of “China Doll,” located in Boulder Canyon. In October 2020, she took a 30-foot ground fall, ripping 4 pieces of gear on a different route in Boulder Canyon, and fractured two vertebrae.
Molly has been very open over the years about her struggle with mental illness, and she is coming to terms with how her accident has greatly affected her mental health as well.
Today she is back climbing again after recovering from her accident with a much different perspective and a lot of growth that at times has been very painful mentally and emotionally. She continues to work on her mental health and feels that the last year has been very eye-opening for her mental health journey.
Molly Mitchell will be introducing her film “Dropping Molly” at the Rock Climbing Show at the Rio Theatre on Friday, Nov 15, 2024 at 7:00pm.
