A Day with Pamela Shanti Pack and Devin Fin

Step into a sun-baked “happy place” with FrictionLabs as pro climber Pamela Shanti Pack and athlete Devin Fin spend a day chasing new lines in Indian Creek, Utah, among the soaring sandstone walls of Bears Ears National Monument. Filmed by Nathaniel Davison, this short follows two of America’s most prolific trad climbers as they move through desert light, splitter cracks, and the quiet focus that comes with establishing first ascents. What makes this one worth your time is the feeling of being there: the unhurried rhythm of a climbing day, the small decisions that add up on gear-intensive crack routes, and the partnership and patience behind every attempt. It’s equal parts inspiring and grounding—beautiful scenery, real effort, and a clear reminder of why climbers return to the desert again and again.
