Ross Fulkerson heads to Bishop, California to attempt some of the most committing highball lines in American bouldering in this raw and introspective film from Mellow. Presented by Mad Rock Climbing, the film follows Fulkerson on his pursuit of "A Little Life" and "Terminus" — two legendary first ascents by Keenan Takahashi perched atop the Buttermilks, where a fall is no longer just a fall. What sets this film apart is its unflinching look at the mental side of highball climbing. Fulkerson opens up honestly about the psychology of commitment and consequence, offering a perspective rarely captured this candidly on camera. With sweeping drone footage of the Eastern Sierra and tight, immersive ground-level cinematography, this is essential viewing for anyone drawn to the outer edge of what bouldering can be.
