In November 2016, Michaela Kiersch became the first woman to send The Golden Ticket, a testpiece 5.14c in the Red River Gorge. Michaela's success revolved around sticking a wild dyno that most taller climbers don't have to use. After the dyno comes the typical "crux" of the route, a v10 boulder problem. This short film documents Michaela's impressive send and the journey it took to pull it off.

Produced by: Andy Wickstrom & Brandon and Gabi Fox

This is a personal project by Andy and Jess Wickstrom and Brandon and Gabi Fox, with support from First Ascent Climbing and Fitness, Skratch Labs, Five Ten, and Petzl. Made possible by the amazing cooperation and talents of Michaela Kiersch.
