Short doc film following a group of women as they attempt 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 as they make discoveries about themselves, their relationship to climbing, and the cultural barriers preventing them from self actualization.
