Mexico's El Potrero Chico is a climbing paradise. El Sendero Luminoso and its beautiful limestone pitches being prime examples. Artist, storyteller and passionate climber N.S. David finds herself tackling this Central Mexico climbing quest – while chasing an answer to her bigger question: why do we climb?

Since learning to climb 15 years ago, she has dedicated herself to multi-pitch climbing on the world’s best routes and biggest walls. Now, she’s taking on her dream summit and most famous climbing route yet: to resolve the question she’s long asked.
