The mother initially worried her daughter, Kate, would freeze while suspended three meters above the ground, but Kate traversed the gaps with confidence. Instead, managing the technical equipment posed the greatest obstacle, as the mother had to manipulate both sets of carabiners and rolling trolleys.
