Freja's back

Early in the alpine season of 2024, all-round climber Freja Shannon suffers a serious fall on the North Face of Les Droites in the French Alps, resulting in a broken back. Despite a grim prognosis, Freja fights her way back with surprising speed—first on her feet, then on the rock. Joined by her climbing partner Ariane Moreau, Freja attempts to ascend Ave Ceasar, a pristine 7c trad route on the spectacular Petit Clocher du Portalet (2,623 m) in the Swiss Alps.
