In Sequence: Katie Lamb and the Craft of Hard Bouldering
2024 · 31 min · Bouldering, Documentary
Katie Lamb climbs the hardest boulders of any woman in history while holding down a full-time engineering job, and Patagonia's film about her is refreshingly uninterested in treating that as a contradiction. In Sequence follows her process on hard granite, most notably in the orbit of her landmark ascent of Box Therapy (V16) in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The film digs into what it actually takes to unlock a boulder at the limit: the sequences rehearsed like choreography, the tension between profession and obsession, and a climbing community in the Bay Area that shaped her. Quietly radical in how normal it lets its subject be.
