Boireannaich Allta
Boireannaich Allta (Wild Women) is a film about rewriting who gets to shape the mountains. Its vision is simple: to demystify route development and prove that the future of climbing can be more inclusive. By placing an all-women team at the center, the film challenges the long-held assumption of who builds the routes we climb.
The journey begins with formal route-development training in the Lake District, guided by experienced climbers and developers, before venturing deep into the Scottish Highlands to create new routes on wild rock. Along the way, the film confronts the gendered barriers women and gender-nonconforming people face in mountain spaces.
At its core, this film is about representation, access, and possibility—showing that climbing belongs to everyone, regardless of gender, background, or resources, and that the future of our sport is built by those bold enough to claim it.
We’re currently fundraising to bring this film to life. Every contribution helps support independent creatives, fund essential route-development training, cover filming equipment, and purchase the hardware needed to bolt new climbing routes. By donating, you’re not just backing a film—you’re investing in people, skills, and access, and helping build a more inclusive future for climbing, both on screen and on the rock.
