The film “Onsight” follows blind athlete and Black Diamond product developer Seneida Biendarra as she wins gold at the 2023 Paraclimbing World Cup. Climbing has been Seneida’s solace since her vision deteriorated, helping her open up and accept her impairment. Despite visual challenges, Seneida navigates terrain with a limited visual tunnel, sometimes narrowing due to optic nerve swelling. Climbing provided her with control, awareness, and confidence, breaking down self-imposed walls of isolation. The Adaptive Climber’s Festival connected Seneida with a community that understood her struggles, allowing her to embrace her disability and share her story.
