In Jen Randall's latest film "Project Mina", the internationally renowned boulderer is exposed as an individual on her way turning a passion for climbing into a full-time climber career.

Although the full film premiered Autumn 2014, this is still an interesting topic that charts the highs and lows of competitive climbing. If you haven't seen it yet, you can watch the movie on reelhouse website.
