The Queen Swing

The Queen Swing follows climbers Laura Pineau and Kate Kelleghan as they chase history on Yosemite’s granite walls, attempting to become the first women to complete the legendary Triple Crown: linking El Capitan, Half Dome, and Mount Watkins in a single 24-hour push. But this isn’t just a story about summits and speed records. It’s about what happens between two people when the only thing keeping you alive is the person on the other end of the rope. Through extreme conditions and risky terrain, the film reveals how trust gets built in increments through shared confidence, quiet encouragement, and the kind of vulnerability that only emerges when you’re too exhausted to pretend. The Crown is the goal, but the partnership is the heart of the climb.
