The High Road

Nina Williams makes the case for highball bouldering as a sport, art form, problem solving, discipline and lifestyle. “I just want to reach this state of action of my body and tranquility in my mind,” she explains, making it sound simple. Williams’ first ascents of legendary routes are captured in suspenseful and beautiful film sequences. “It’s easy to be inspired by Nina,” says her partner, James Lucas. This is an intimate portrait of an elite climber at the top of her game.
