Who calls what when how?

Thank you! Hope you will have an amazing safe and exciting experience up there

As of now I don't see myself wishing to search somewhere else something else. For the past I don't even remember how many years they've just been reliable and I'm still at the first pair.

There is no such thing as beginner level or not. They all are the same (almost all). Make sure it is a rock climbing sitting harness. You can use a canyoning harness but for sure not a mountaineering harness. You should default to a rock climbing harness. For my case I see I prefer adjustable leg loops. If you think this is a one off thing, buy something cheap. Will be less comfortable but not crazy money. If you think you plan using it for a while, buy something a bit more expensive that promises comfort (you need comfort especially if you plan going D or E level eventually).

@ Thank you very much for your reply. I have been few times now on via Ferrata and I am using the Salewa Via Ferrata Evo Harness and sometimes they hard to rest on and I was thinking maybe to get padded on or something. I know I have long ways to learn yet but your videos helps me a lot.

@arturjozwik76 in this case you experience exactly what I thought. The need for comfort while resting. Black Diamond Momentum has some good padding. Don't try to invent padding by yourself. Also, remember, with padding comes warmth and wet. Will be somehow more comfortable but will get you hot and the harness will get wetter

@@JetSetYourself that’s a good point, thank you.

Thank you, it means a lot. I will soon come with more, advanced insights about Via Ferrata and more. Soon. I hope you get to use all this as much possible and be there up and climbing as often possible. Greeting from at the moment the rainy ☔ London

I'll help you do it ❤️

Via Ferrata Sets are rated up to 120kg users' weight. Is not precise science but if you are less than 120kg in weight you can safely statically load the Via Ferrata Set for resting. Statically means you can lower yourself into the Via Ferrata Set. You should not drop yourself into it (dropping yourself based on how aggressively might trigger a partial deployment). This being said, I don't advise using the Via Ferrata Set for resting. I sometimes myself fully extend it when making the anchor point transition but only that. Why not use for resting? Is not comfortable. You have to lower yourself way below the resting point. Not fun.

I shall try it this year!

Right at the start is the box book filling:)

Greetings Chris. The segment in the edit is addressing to you, you are the Chris I speak for. I climbed them in eight consecutive days (this includes the drive from one place to the other and the climb of Hans Kammerlander that is not part of the series). It is more than 10 climbs. I climbed Adventure Climb Varmost twice (I had to return) because of lost footage, Peterlewand I climbd that initial section maybe five times to get all the angles and recover the gear (stay tunned for the next episode), Mučevo climbed twice as well because of the lost footage. There was no break. I rested after that doing Cinque Terre and the annual jump in Manarola Bay, Ice Cream in Pisa and Venice, bought some olive oil in Umbria and then cannyoning with a subscriber to the channel in Slovenia (where I injured the knee on a rock when jumping and had to stop the trip). I did Peterlewand in the same day with Schlossberg and returned and double climbed after Mučevo on my way to Italy. Something like that.

I bought the Go 3s right after you did. And the X4 after losing the X3. What hurts most is the money. Then, once you lose or break something your trip is almost ruined if not buying something on the go. For the X3 case it was impossible to replace with somethings temporary. Buying. A new one from a retailer would've been a hard hit on budget. I bought the back mount (new version). Let's see if this improves things (and if camera will be safer)

@JetSetYourself Any way to attach a thin wire to it in case it gets knocked, you were lucky to be able to get one back, most times you don't even know you've lost it

Long time no see. How is going the preparation for your move abroad? Fully recovered by now? How did the leg felt during winter? I look forward to maybe have a climb together before you leave. Will travel across Switzerland this Friday if nothing changes.

@@JetSetYourself Slowly, I will be here until march 2026 I think, so yes plenty of time for a VF or hike, I didn't do many VF routes this year so am likely to have slipped down to D level or worse, but hiking I am fine, averaging over 16K +/-700m 2-3 times a week, at present snowshoeing and winter hiking

I climbed this twice last year. First as training ground right after pneumonia and later to check my recovery progress. I was not fully recovered and made difficulty completing the route. Plus the unforseen (you will see in the video). This is the first climb of the mini TH-cam series I name Ultimate Via Ferrata. 7 + 2 climbs (two climbed twice because of lost footage) during this trip.

😅😂😂😂😂 It is. Did I made it? I don't know what to say...😁😜🥰🥰

Thank you. Thank you 🤗

I try to avoid them as much possible. Sometimes I let pressure to do it and drive away set me up for failure

I kissed you as well. Been dealing with some issues the past months but now I'm committed for a comeback ❤️🥰

@@JetSetYourself, Trust in one's own strength and in God!

Thank you. It actually helps. Sometimes my English is invented. Being my third language I lack vocabulary.

Thank you. I don't know what to say about the sponsor. It is true that I'm without a job 10 months now and it starts leaving a mark on all my decision making and lifestyle. I hang on. I think I can last a bit more before going in full crisis mode. I guess a sponsor will help only if it is enough money to help me do this full time and not worry about the future. I worry a lot. I have many puzzle pieces to put together. Realistically speaking I don't think finding a sponsor is possible. Usually sponsors comes after success. Not before. I'm not giving up. I solved some of the personal problems, bad things that happened to me last year. I aim hard at rehabilitation and a strong come back this year. Will depend on finding a job (now companies want you at least 3 days in office and this will make travel more difficult). Will see. Time will tell.

Sorry for disappointing. If this will make up for it, here is what you've asked for: th-cam.com/video/f4cqWZ-SxNk/w-d-xo.html

I know. I know. There was nothing I could do to have it out faster. Life sometimes is just hard and unpredictable. Other times is a bully. But now we have it. I didn't gave up.

Podul Indian should not even be mentioned. Spirala Muierilor can break you as easily as Hans Kammerlander. Is Spirala Muierilor as hard or harder? It is as hard. Hans Kammerlander is ten times harder than Podul Indian. A tat harder than Spirala Muierilor. What is the big difference between Hans Kammerlander and Spirala Muierilor? Hans Kammerlander is longer. Way longer. It comes with five times as many difficult segments compared to Spirala Muierilor.

Thanks

You can use La Sportiva TX5 only at low altitude with limited snow and only early winter late spring. But take this as the rating of a sleeping bag. They have the comfort rating, limit and extreme. Extreme is for survival. Smart here. You can go as a one off just because and at maximum risk. If you expect snow and plan a long, hard climb (mountaineering climb) that involves crampons, icepick or rough terrain and low temperatures than no, this shoe will not do it. If you go on a safe route that you know with certainty you will compete in one or two hours maybe yes but otherwise not. In general I say no. For city walks or to take the cable car up and down, sit a bit on snow around the cable car, yes. But for a long, serious, demanding winter mountaineering adventure, no. Will it make it? If not too cold and no need for crampons yes, you might make it. But the conditions have to be ideal (spring ideal). They are not made for walking in the mountains in winter in snow.

The name of this tent specifically is Maggiolina Airlander Plus from AUTOHOME (Italian manufacturer). Yes, you sleep on the roof of the car (this specific tent is vertical and allows parking and sleeping almost everywhere). Yes it has a ladder. I keep it inside the tent both when driving and when sleeping.

Your story? Inspiring. I identify with you. Since climbing Via Ferrata knee, shoulder, elbow pain is gone. Also regained shoulder mobility.

I can only imagine extreme Level F Via Ferrata requiring in exceptional cases climbing shoes (short sharp Via Ferrata). I did see people with climbing shoes after them (on Rino Pisetta multiple times) but it is an exaggeration. I always climb it with normal Via Ferrata shoes (La Sportiva TX4 in my case). In theory yes you should be able to use your current shoes for Via Ferrata and no new shoes should be necessary. What we many times do is for excessive comfort, stability, control. But in reality you can climb with almost any technical shoe. Of course, any might fail but this is a different story. Don't worry about it for now. Focus on staying safe by climbing the right difficulty level. Don't expose yourself unnecessarily.

4x4

@@JetSetYourself i mean you can have a 4x4 with a manual, or a 2x4 with an automatic , never 4x4 witch automatic. I drove a Duster in Iceland in winter, very brave car :)

@dominikkocinski yes, yes, you are right. We speak about the 4x4 not the 2x4. And yes you are right, the 4x4 comes as a manual whole the 2x4 is manual or automatic (the hybrid version).

Nice review as top gear ⚙️ looks great car and pleased European manufacturer is producing good practical vehicles 👌

It really depends on the perspective of your analysis or interpretation of the EuroNCAP test results. If a car loses points because it doesn't has ISOFIX child-seat anchor points and you don't have a child that needs that, how is that lower score affecting you? If you care more about your safety as a driver on a motorway where you don't have cyclists how having or not cyclists detection or protection helping you? At the end probably what we have to answer is what makes a SUV best SUV. A 75k Ford Ranger Raptor I cannot afford buying and for sure I will not have where to park, how to drive around cities like Rome, Vienna or Bucharest and will always set me back 14l/100km. Can Dacia improve? For the right price (budget) any car can improve. But for this price, Duster 3 is a very good car.

@JetSetYourself I get what you are saying. For that price there is no 4x4 you can buy that would've been better. Best budget 4x4 of 2025 indeed. But is quite hard to call it best SUV overall when you have offers from Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota that also offer 4x4 options. At a higher price, sure, but providing higher safety standards.

Not clear your question. Via Ferrata is a set route where the constructor installs a safety steel.cable made of steel from start to the end. If you have it, it means it can be climbed. It doesn't matter where it was set, built. As long as it exists, you can climb it. US doesn't has too many. Most routes are set in Europe primarily in the Alps. If you ask about rock climbing a Via Ferrata, best not to do it. The risk of falling is too high. Just climb it standard leveraging with at least one hand the safety steel cable.

Thank you ♥️ Happy New Year 🥂🎉

Con grandissima piacere. It Is My honor and pleasure to help like this and more.

For Via Ferrata screw-lock or any other locking carabiner will not be practical for the Via Ferrata Set. On a short route you make at least 100 anchor point transitions (200 moves). On a regular route at least 500. On long routes it gets to more than a thousand. Imagine the time it takes to advance by screwing on and off a carabiner.

@@JetSetYourself yes, I know, but thank you for good information. To climb a via ferrata is a dream.

Metterò su anche video più suggestivi con delle discese di oltre 20°. Per questo caso in particolare se tutti gli altri usavano gli freni, io solo stavo filmando che l'auto faceva tutto il resto. Questo è di particolare aiuto considerando che gli dischi di freno rimangono a disposizione per situazioni aparte. L'assistente della discesa aiuta a controllare l'auto meglio senza pensiero. Per un auto come Dacia Duster (guarda gli costi a paragone) dico che è una grande cosa. Auguri 🥂

@JetSetYourself certo.....per il rapporto prezzo dotazione è ben piazzata

@4piracingteam254 prima avevo VW Tiguan. Ho pagato il doppio, aveva solo trazione fronte e sono rimasto bloccato in montagna tante volte. Vero che la qualità al interno era migliore ma mi a anche costato quasi il doppio. A'l Tiguan mancava ancora una cosa. Non aveva la spinta necessaria per fare sorpassi oppure non rimanere fermo andando in salita. Con la Duster non ho più quel problema. Il motore mild hybrid aiuta a risolvere la limitazione Tiguan aveva. Dacia Duster 3 non è la più veloce, di sicuro la qualità del interno è diversaa per totale, per i 26100€ che ho pagato (tutto incluso) è ottima. Ha tutto che aveva Tiguan e in più mild hybrid, 4x4, cruise control, hill assist, USB C. Mancano piccole cose. Alla fine è un auto nuova a paragone con i 250 Milla km che avevo fatto al Tiguan. Mai avuti problemi con il Tiguan perché gli facevo tutto in anticipo ma era caro da mantenere. L'assicurazione quasi metta per la Duster. Cambio d'olio costa niente. Le tasse zero per il primo anno è moldo di meno per dopo. Mi sembra che consuma un può di più ma forse mi sbaglio.

@JetSetYourself wolkwagen tiguan e dacia sono su 2 piani diversi....parlando di allestimento poi.....non sono paragonabili. Il mild hybryd ti aiuta in partenza.....ma per esperienza penalizza i consumi

@4piracingteam254 vero!

Hello. As a rope access technician you are familiar with sitting harnesses, how to fit them, what's the best size and most comfortable for you, how to be safe while using them. This is one of the most important steps in prepping for Via Ferrata. The other important aspect is the anchor point transition. If you have the right harness and do the transition properly in case you fall you will be safe (to the extent of the limits the Via Ferrata safety equipment has of course). The Via Ferrata Set does not have a size. It is the same for everyone. Don't worry about it. It should do for your height without problems. The elasticated arms will help you for your height. Because you already work with sitting harnesses there is no need to worry. Your body build doesn't pose any issue (because you already use a sitting harness and know how to adjust that to your body build). Just go out there and have fun. Remember, more legs, less arm force. Otherwise you will run out of energy pretty fast. Make sure to do the anchor point transitions properly, don't rush and don't climb more than you can do. D Level Via Ferrata should be the highest grade one should attack when first time in Via Ferrata (and expect to get in trouble that will put you in difficulty if not worse). Level C should be of confidence. One way or another you will complete it no matter what (given that you are already familiar with heights, rope access, etc most probably you can go through a D without too much risk as well).

I'm curious on learning on your journey. I don't remember where you are. I would like to visit if in Europe and record a podcast with you solo climbing? I think this is something worth properly documenting. Did you ever fell so far? How did your solo system work? We can as well record a podcast normally without footage from the climbing site and just talk about it.

@ I'm in Fresno , California which is a couple hours from Yosemite. Most of the time I go up to Tollhouse Rock which is about 45 min from my home. So far I'm climbing about 200 feet at the beginner side of the mountain and with top rope solo I only fall a few inches if I let go. Last weekend I did make a mistake of dropping my rope and I didn't have a backup , nor did I bring my aid climbing gear. I was comfortable down climbing about 75 feet to get my rope and I free climbed backup. Again I was very grateful to have gotten pretty good at that route. I'm soon going to attempt the larger mountain and do the "tollhouse traverse" route. I plan on tackling that sort of the same way as I did the smaller climb with a top rope , a micro traction and a rope man 4 ascender. However the route does traverse horizontally so I'll need to redirect my rope as needed. Someday I'd love to hike up to half dome , Yosemite falls, and El Capitan someday and rappel down so that would be great to meet up with you to use our skills to conquer something big. Let's keep in touch. Great videos !!

Even if you’re just using it to actually rest? Do you recommend a separate PAS for resting ? Thanks

@HundyBills în Via Ferrata you should not use the Via Ferrata Set for resting. Never. Two reasons. a) it lowers you way below the anchor point and b) puts unnecessary stress on you because of this slack between you and the anchor point. I do recommend that one should use a separate personal anchor system PAS for resting. The mention above refers to progression on the vertical not to rest on a vertical. In fact I did used the PAS for progression which is completely wrong. As I was saying în the video, I had no clue what I'm doing at the time, being my first time and not being as educated as I eventually became. In fact, this is the trap many fall into. That false sense of security by wrongly using the safety gear. Been there, done that, I can now see clear how easy human error can occur.

They definitely are different built. I prefer the Rollnlock for how it is built but it really depends. I will have to test both apoc and micro traction to provide a worthy opinion.

Piatra Șoimilor, Falco Tinnunculus Level E variant in Romania. I got lost both during the approach and the exit.
