Climbing Into Life(2025)
The life story of Dierdre Wolownick
Climbing Into Life Synopsis
Dierdre Wolownick is the oldest woman to climb El Capitan in Yosemite. Never an athlete, she excelled in languages, art, music and other intellectual pursuits, but in her 60s she began climbing out of curiosity; her son, Alex Honnold, seemed to be having too much fun. Dierdre's story proves that we are never too old to try something new.
Climbing Into Life (2025) is a documentary film directed by Melissa Davey, released on November 21, 2025 with a runtime of 52m. It stars Dierdre Wolownick and Alex Honnold.
