In the heart of the west lives a vast, untouched and priceless gem. The Owyhee, a wild place where those who visit leave with something more than they arrived with - whether a connection to a simpler time, youthful memories reignited, or a source of hope and strength. It has been here as long as time, raw and perfect, but its uncertain future now lies in our hands. A film by Dan Holz produced for Osprey.

While climbing in Wyoming's remote Wind River Range, Kim Havell and Julia Heemstra discuss the realities of being female climbers in what is traditionally a male-dominated sport. Wyoming’s remote and vast wilderness provides them the perfect canvas to redefine the preconception of the feminine. Isolated and exposed, their presence breathes life into this bleak yet breathtaking landscape as they navigate sheer granite walls and explore the fabric of experience.
