Telluride Via Ferrata - Ashley FREAKS out!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2019
- We headed to Telluride Colorado to check out the Via Ferrata. The Via Ferrata precariously traverses rock faces up to 600 feet above the ground below, exhilaratingly exposed in sections that would be impassable without the steel cables and scattered steel holds along the way. I had done the climb once before but this was Ashley's first time. Having a bit of climbing experience and a healthy fear of heights I thought this would be an awesome challenge and experience for her. I definitely did not expect her to freak out as much as she did. All in all it made for an incredible day and she was very happy she accomplished it.
Please note: This edit is not a guide or a recommendation that you should attempt this climb. Only experienced climbers should attempt and I highly recommend hiring a guide.

Those static slings/daisy chain are freaking me out, I would have been crying too.
There weren't any sections on this via ferrata we felt warranted more. If we had any vertical sections like those in Europe we would have definitely used the special gear.
@@AndrewMuse Special gear aside, it's definitely better to have a dynamic PAS vs a static one when there's any risk of falling on it unloaded. Those static PAS's are more for anchoring into multi-pitch / single pitch anchors, that shock load (While it might still hold you) would be super uncomfortable. A fall can happen at any point, for any reason - a dynamic PAS is a great alternative to make things a bit safer and more comfortable. You almost rolled your ankle in the video, so you definitely know random stuff like that happens, and making things a bit safer (For the same price, since dynamic PAS's aren't really more expensive) is well worth the effort.
@@CleanIntentions Just commenting to drive the message home to the uploader: never go on a VF without a real VF kit. If you or one of your friends takes a fall, you'll regret the decision.
@@AndrewMuse If you slipped while changing sections of the line I honestly don't think they'd hold.
You guys killed it! Thanks for the video. Glad your both safe but I bet it was such an experience!
Thank you so much Karen! It was awesome, Ashley said she would do it again so that's a win! 😂
WTF using a dyneema daisychain for vF?!?!? I'm sure she'd be even more scared if she realised daisychains are only like 2kN rated for static loads only. A certified via Ferrata set can be had for less than £50, WHY RISK IT??? It probably cost you more in fuel to drive to CO and your camera equipment is definitely worth more than this. Classic example of the video being worth more than a life...
SERIOUSLY people, if you want to do this route, get a proper vF set. Don't make one up from any old climbing tat you may have lying around. You can easily overload slings etc in a fall, please don't risk it, just buy the correct gear, you will then have the incentive to look up other routes and go do them too safely.
Stay safe all, have fun. Lots of love from The UK.
Thank you for the concerns Matt and for pointing that out for everyone watching, I truly appreciate it! The Telluride Via Ferrata doesn't have any vertical sections like in Europe, it's just a traverse. I had done it before on multiple occasions and felt confident we wouldn't need anything other than what we took. That being said, if anyone is looking to do it they do sell the kits in climbing stores in town and they recommend hiring a guide to go across.
@@AndrewMuse good to hear it's just a traverse, but even the in a fall you are introducing a static shock to the gear possibly factor 1 towards factor 2. Please check out the Edelrid video on Via Ferrata kit, the gap between the pigtails can make a fall factor 5!!! 😳 Something you'd never encounter sport climbing because of the rope stretch.
Criticism aside, it does look a great route and it's a nice video. 👍

Good job Ashley!!
Going tomorrow .AM super stoked!!
Wow, I am SUPER impressed. I can't begin to even imagine doing something like that. I won't jump off the rocks at the local water park (and even little kids do the shorter jump). Ashley you did amazing.
She totally crushed it! There are sections that still freak me out. 😂
Wicked Awesome. Ashley has got serious courage to do that traverse. I love Telluride. Probably one of my favorite places in the entire world.
Good job girl. I will most likely feel the same but will do it anyway
Ashley is so impressive pushing through her fears!
... she rocked it though! Definitely want to do it when I'm back in Telluride in the future!
She Totally rocked it! You absolutely should! It's an awesome pretty easy adventure. So pretty!
Okay now I want to go do that. Good job Ashley!!
You definitely should! It's a blast!
i love the three of you !!!
Thank you so much for the love!
Wow! She did it!!!!! So awesome.
She's a champ for sure! Thank you!
Had to come back and watch this video again!
Thank you!!
EPIC!
Thank you! So proud!
Amazing! I would never do anything like that. I’m scared of heights XD Ashley was wonderful ;)
She absolutely crushed it! I actually have a bit of a fear of heights as well 😂
It takes a full blow, super hero, take no prisoners woman to overcome her fears, and just innilhilate a climb. She rocks. Andrew did well to coach her along too.
She is so crazy strong haha she’ll be sobbing and still climbing on I don’t know how she does it! 🙌
She did amazing and went much further than I ever would have gotten. I would have said nah as soon as I saw it.
She crushed it!
Well… I guess most people told you aleady in the comment section here. But you should NEVER use slings as your main fall arest. They will snap like a lace if you fall in them. They are realy strong, but not made for dynamic loads. Even standing with your harness at the same hight as the cable will be fatal.
Please always use a VF set, they arent that expensive. And use the sling as “resting line”. Clip them when your getting tired, just slowly sit in them and hang in your harnes to rest. Also keep the VF set cliped in.
Damn you Ashley!!! You nailed it! I got scared watching you! I felt your pain! Hahaha!
Haha she says thank you! She totally crushed it through her fear!
Are you using static slings to secure yourselves? That's not a good idea tbh...

Thank you for sending this over David! I really appreciate the information.
Nice video , enjoyed 🤩🤩🤩🤩 keep posting , luv u kickerrrrrr auuuff
Thank you! I'm trying to post 3 times a week right now! Make sure to subscribe and get notifications!
I did long time "" yaaaay #more #stories weeehooo
Yeah dude! Love taking people on that thing!
It's such a fun, beautiful, and accessible adventure. That view of Telluride is hard to beat!
Andrew Muse yeah! Great intro to exposure for sure 😂
🌴What an accomplishment Ashley!
I can't even go on a Ferris Wheel l😟
Hahaha I bet you could! You seemed pretty brave to me!
Courage is defined as feeling fear and doing it anyway. Ashley took fear head on and rocked that course.

She's a total badass. I've seen her rise to the challenge through the fear many times. It's super impressive!
Ahsley you and Andrew are absolutely fierce , so proud of you both!!!
Thank you so much Judy!
What an awesomely terrifying trail. Can't believe they park allows you to just scale that without more safety mechanisms.
It's so much fun! We were attached with two slings and two locking carabiners so we were definitely safe!
This was so fucking cool
Thanks Bryan!
Lol... That’s me yesterday
what did you do with kicker?
He was with our friend Elizabeth and her dogs!
@@AndrewMuse you could have send him to my place i would have babysit him
@@hensofer8152 Hahah Next time for sure! Where are you located?
@@AndrewMuse israel
That approach is deadly.
What about it?
Andrew Muse really?
@@sabre22b50 Like the approach to the wall or the wall itself?
Hi. Ill go through the film and give you some time codes. Im in the middle of something right now but ill certainly get it done today. 🙂
@@sabre22b50 No pressure! Thank you for your time!
😝😖 ehhh nope!! That looked scary
Hahaha It's really not too dangerous if you do it right! lol
@@AndrewMuse I believe you, im just pretty scared of hights🙄
@@eternity68 Totally get it! I have a fear of heights as well believe it or not! LOL
what kinda via ferrata sets are those? it looks like just a rope with thos carabiners attached. There's a video on youtube of a german alp club section that depicts what exactly happens if you fall into those kinds of ropes....
I hope I'm mistaking here, if not, this is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Taking a beginner on a C or D rated via ferrata without a proper set.....
Thank you for your concern, I've already gone over this is previous comments. 😊🙏🏼
@@AndrewMuse Ok I just scrolled down a bit and found your answer. Just my two cents though: I've seen 3 falls in via ferratas so far and two of them were on non-vertical traversy sections, as on the vertical stuff people tend to be much more "careful".
The tests of the german alpine club showed that normal climbing ropes tend to shear right off and thear in falls where you are above the anchor point (which in via ferratas you always are), as in climbing you have tons of length in the rope (40-50 m minimum) which helps to distribute the weight of the fall by allowing the rope to stretch on impact. Onvia ferratas, the rope's much shorter and thus tends to strip/shear off during falls usually right where the carabiner connects. In static ropes it's even much worse.
But as you already said, I was just concerned for your and other viewers safety. So props to you for taking my quite harsh comment so nicely! :)
😂😂😂😂😂👐👐👐👐😚😚😚😚❤❤❤❤
😊🙏🏼
Fun Via Ferrata, but I think Ouray's is about ten times better.
We'll have to try that one as well!
lol, This is more drama than its hard
Ikin Oliver it’s not physically challenging but some people have an overwhelming fear of heights like Ashley which makes it hard for them.
One thing I've noticed is that it's so damn boring doing stuff with women. All they do is whine and cry.
Are you fucking serious?! Ladies avoid this dude.
@@kacykrummel1348 I'll avoid you long before you even get a chance to avoid me.
