17 Jun Markus Jung climbs The Essential, 9A

Markus Jung, German climber born in 1987 and brother of Daniel Jung, has climbed the famous and terrible The Essential at Frankenjura, fearsome route of 9a of great power and precision. Markus is at his fourth 9a (the last one was The Elder Statesman in November last year) while Daniel has closed ten. No matter, what matters is that they are one of the pairs of brothers with many 9a closed.

"I put The Essential on my list since my brother Daniel had made it in 2013. When I returned I was surprisingly how I was able to repeat all the movements. This has given me confidence and in just three days the I closed it, I’m super happy. "

In 2012, this spectacular route was also climbed by Gabriele Moroni.
