Anna Hazlett and Matilda Söderlund travel to Madagascar to climb a remote big wall; the film follows their partnership and the logistics of a multi-day limestone ascent on the island. The upload and festival notes do not supply a route name or grade, but the piece is explicitly framed as a big-wall climb on Madagascar and documents the pair working together six months after meeting in Las Vegas. The film is edited and narrated by Anna Hazlett, with drone footage by William Hamilton and music by Mark Hendry, and is presented with sponsorship credit to Rab. The film is as much about the interpersonal and logistical side of big-wall travel as it is about movement on rock: team decisions, hauling, and managing a remote environment. It also situates the trip in a broader context by referencing Honnold Foundation projects in Madagascar and by premiering at the No Man's Land festival, which shapes its tone as a short documentary rather than a pure climbing edit.
