Megan Mascarenas | Inside Out

Megan Mascarenas | Inside Out is a quick, intimate portrait from Mad Rock that follows elite climber Megan Mascarenas as she moves between the bright intensity of competition walls and the raw pull of climbing outside. In her own words, Megan reflects on a mindset shaped by possibility—when you don’t see boundaries, you don’t feel the limits—inviting us to understand the drive that keeps her exploring every side of the sport. What makes this film worth your five minutes is its contrast: the precision of modern comp movement set against the improvisation and patience of rock, and the way Megan finds balance between them. It’s equal parts motivation and perspective, capturing that addictive question at the heart of climbing—how far can I take it, and how far can it take me—through crisp filmmaking and a clear, human voice.

“It’s that I haven’t seen any boundaries… So I don’t know where the limits are,” says Megan, as she takes us inside and outside to appreciate all sides of the climbing spectrum. As she manages to balance the styles of climbing outside along with the styles presented by setters in major competitions, Megan says, “I want to see how far I can take climbing and climbing can take me.” Produced: Three Peak Films Directed/Edit: George Bruce Wilson Camera: Austin Tucker, George Bruce Wilson
