What would it take for your climbing partner to also be your significant other? Meet Jewell and Kyle! They’ve dedicated their lives to mountaineering and this is their advice for integrating outdoor adventure into a relationship. This film goes out to all the couples who get after it together. Co-Directed, produced, and edited by Graham Zimmerman for Outdoor Research.

Climbers love to talk about exposure, about vertical rock faces and sheer ridgelines, and the experience of hundreds of feet of air underfoot. But what of the exposure that happens within? The inner dialogue and the battle with fear, expectations, and self? 'Speak To Me Softly' is a short film and case study into the emotional and mental side of climbing. Akin to reading someone else’s journal or sneakily looking over their shoulder, the film invites you to take an honest and intimate peek into the headspace of climber having a not-so-sendy day.

Hip Hop Gone Wild is a cutting edge rap music video adventure film taking you on the journey of exposure, from the urban streets of freestyle circles to the vertical world of rock climbing. Made by women, featuring women, for everyone. A creative collaboration between Henna Taylor and Becca Droz featuring, among others, Becca and Jenny Abegg climbing the Moonlight Buttress. Both Hip Hop and the wild hold space for creative expression to be exercised liberally. Hip Hop is evolving, so is climbing and so are we.
