Gripped: Climbing the Killer Pillar
Gripped is a feature-length rock-climbing survival epic set in California's Sierra Nevada mountains on the side of a thousand-foot precipice. Rose, a gym climber from Los Angeles, is on her first outdoor climb in Gripped. Rose meets Bret, an accomplished outdoorsman, while climbing with her buddy Jade. She persuades him to take her on a famous, difficult rock climbing route known as "Killer Pillar," despite his better judgment. Bret collapses and sustains a significant head injury as well as a torn shoulder as a result of his fall. Rose must lead the ascent to the summit because there is no other way to go. They are forced to bivouac on a cliffside ledge when night falls because they still have a long distance to go. Bret falls in and out of consciousness as a storm approaches the next day. Rose must save them both.
