Watch Katherine Choong try Fly at Lauterbrunnen

After becoming the first Swiss woman to climb 9a, Katherine Choong turned her attention to multi-pitch routes. Une Jolie Fleur dans une Peau de Vache (300m, 8b) in the Gorges du Verdon, La Ramirole (150m, 8b) also in the Verdon Gorge, Ali Baba (8a+, 240m) at Aiglun, La Fiesta de Los Metallos (200m, 8b) back in the Verdon, then Zahir (8b+, 300m) at Wenden were all redpointed pretty quickly. In summer 2023 she attempted to raise the bar, on the 20-pitch Fly in Lauterbrunnental in Switzerland. This beautiful short film follows the efforts of the 32-year-old and is just an excerpt, a sort of trailer for the full-length film called L'envol which will be shown at various film festivals.
