'Play' (FULL DOCUMENTARY) - Tiffany Soi rediscovers rock climbing after a spinal injury

Two years ago, rock climber Tiffany Soi could hardly walk. Having sustained an acute spinal injury, she was sure her climbing career was over. “Play” offers an intimate window into her remarkable journey back to the wall while grappling with chronic pain. Faced with reevaluating her aspirations, Tiffany forges a new connection with her beloved sport, embracing curiosity, the spirit of play, and love.

Hey Tiffany, I'm essentially going through the same thing currently. Years of abuse from work have compounded into lower back spasms, extreme nerve pain, and bilateral leg burning. Turns out it's a few, very, herniated discs with some other issues. I haven't given up on climbing., but have to take a break from it for the time being. Yoga has made a magnificent change in my mentality towards it all, but your story is really inspiring and gives me hope!

Lovely film! I know it was not really the point of the film, but what were the boulders in the first sections? We are contemplating a trip to Rocklands, but are not hardcore boulderers (20 / 21 sport routes are our usual fair) , so we need good landings and manageable grades.

Thanks so much! 😊 The first two boulders were at an area called Powerlines (super easy approach and known for its high concentration of moderates). First boulder is The Prow 7A and the second is L’arete 7A+. There are a bunch of easier lines there too (with good landings)!

Where did Tiffany get that Thom guy, at the husband store? Hint: When he talks about how big your bum is and then gives you a kiss, it's not "mockery," it's making after dinner plans.😅 Worst case, it's just a random compliment. And he cooks 5-star meals? Note to Thom: Please stop making the rest of us look bad. Thanks.
