Alita Contreras - Woman Warrior
<p dir="ltr">In the film Guerreras, Alita Contreras is shown preparing for a long, traversing rock route on a cliff in Columbia. Her dog by her side, Contreras mimes the moves, headphones on, eyes closed, meditating on what she's about to climb. </p> <p dir="ltr">Contreras was born in Venezuela, but her Columbian father made sure to keep traditions from his home country alive during her upbringing. Today, she lives and climbs in Columbia and works as a translator and climbing coach. </p> <p dir="ltr">In this conversation, she discusses the challenges of navigating identity after living in seven countries, and speaks to the incredible biodiversity and climbing communities found in Columbia. We also talk about her involvement in the making of Guerreras, a documentary that takes an intergenerational look at women climbers in Columbia. </p> <p dir="ltr">Alita guides us through her tactics for visualization, and speaks to how being engaged in a climb is often the only way she can clear her mind of mental clutter. </p> <p>This episode brought to you by <a href= "https://www.patagonia.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Patagonia</a></p> <p>Host: Abbey Collins</p> <p>Producer & Engineer: <a href= "https://www.milkcrate.tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Horn</a></p> <p>Guest: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alitaclimbing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alita Contreras</a></p> <p><a href= "https://shop.holpublications.com/collections/alpinist-subscriptions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Subscribe to Alpinist Magazine</a> </p>

Now the directors are out with a four-part documentary series "The Dark Wizard," which premieres on HBO Max on April 14.</p> <p style= "caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" data-start="310" data-end="654">The documentary traces the life of Dean Potter, who was well known in the world of climbing for his bold free soloing, BASE jumping, and highlining. But the human behind those efforts was quite complicated, something that is illustrated through interviews with friends, family, and climbing partners—and archival interviews with Potter himself.</p> <p style= "caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" data-start="656" data-end="1007">Mortimer and Rosen reflect on their own relationships with Potter, whom they filmed with often before he died in a BASE jumping accident in Yosemite in 2015. The pair share why they felt this film needed to be made in an honest way and how Potter's journals, provided by his sister, presented a lesser-known side of him, one that was quite vulnerable.</p> <p> </p> <p>This episode brought to you by <a href= "https://www.patagonia.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Patagonia</a>.</p> <p>Host: Abbey Collins</p> <p>Producer & Engineer: <a href= "https://www.milkcrate.tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Horn</a></p> <p>Guests: Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen</p> <p><a href= "https://www.hbomax.com/shows/dark-wizard/76e78c26-21c9-45b4-b84b-4c3e1f8ff763"> Watch "The Dark Wizard"</a></p> <p><a href= "https://shop.holpublications.com/collections/alpinist-subscriptions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Subscribe to Alpinist Magazine</a> </p>
