Video: That's behind Katherine Choong's inspection of Jungfraumarathon (9a)

On October 16, 2019, Katherine Choong climbed her second 9a route with Jungfraumarathon. Filmmaker Nicolas Falquet accompanied the Jurassic on her way to the top with his camera and captured her marathon to her second trophy in the ninth grade in gripping pictures.

Katherine Choong is not a person who rests on her laurels: in August 2018 she climbed with Cabane au Canada as the first Swiss woman a 9a route red dot. In autumn 2019 she underlined her skills with her second route in the ninth degree: Jungfrau Marathon.

The documentation of Nicholas Falquet accompanies Katherine Choong on her marathon and leaves well-known climbing greats like Cédric Lachat, Nina Caprez, Jim Zimmerman or Simon Wanderer to speak.
