A life line helped me a lot in this via ferrata. I def needed some rests in the overhang parts. Also I made it less pumpy by putting my arm in the steps while clipping. Well doing it without that! One of the better via ferratas I did. So beautiful with the waterfall. Thanks for making the video so i can relive it hehe.
To avoid forearm pump you need a resting sling. Dont hang on your via feratta kit, but bring along a 1/2m climbing sling with a carabiner on it. When you need a rest keep your via feratta kit attached and use the sling and clip it to a step or pigs tail on the rock face. You can then put your weight on that and hang on it to rest your arms and legs. Just dont use it when actually climbing as you dont want to fall on a sling
You can even attach the sling to the Bandfalldämpfer (via ferrata kit?) to mitigate the risk of falling into the undampened sling. This can also help in vertical sections where you otherwise wouldn't want to attach a static sling at all.
@@casselskeep you could do, but it’s not ideal. You aren’t falling from above the anchor so it’s not going to snap the sling, but it’ll be a pretty rough stop compared to the screamer on a via Ferrara set stopping you slowly. The resting static sling should really only be used for resting or hanging on. You can technically use it on traverses and bridges, as long as it’s short, but you don’t want to be falling at all where it’s slack and suddenly going tight when you fall or it’s going to hurt.
@@tastytechaddictsmtb thanks. I had heard that the wire had enough flex to absorb the impact in that particular scenario. I thought it would reduce the risk of deploying your ferrata set unnecessarily. That's my biggest concern with via ferrata, that once you have had a fall you are completely exposed!
Thank you for filming this. I enjoyed watching your adventure climbing videos. I have never climbed a mountain before, but after watching this video makes me want to learn the new skill. 😄💖⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️
This was a really cool video about this via Ferrata, great challenge and when I ever get in Chamonix I will give it a try and you can always rest on your lanyard
Smashed it! That looked hectic. Looking forward to the next vid, and have no idea how you backed that up the next day - your forearms would have been f***d!
Great video Cris. Such a beautiful place, and interesting how contained the via ferrara is (ie, trails everywhere for viewing and within one small area). I’m curious…what did you carry in your backpack on this climb? I can only assume it was safety gear in the event of something unexpected happening, as well as water. Thanks for posting!
Funny enough I actually had a sling and a carabineer attached to me just in case I needed a rest (I also bought a lanyard after this trip 😅) Thanks for watching!
As someone that lifts weights a lot everything you said about your forearms makes complete sense. I’ve put them into spasm on several occasions gripping too hard whilst doing pulling movements. Good job nonetheless, I could never do that 😂
I absolutely loved it. The title is half for dramatic purposes but also to make people aware that this isn't easy and they shouldn't take it lightly. Thank you for watching!
@@netshutup2339 I don't remember exactly, section 2 is the longest and hardest (due to the duration and constant overhangs). Section 3 was the shortest.
Those bridges are terryfing brrrrrr. One thing, clip carabiners to highest line on the bridges. In case of fall it can be very difficult to come back while You're clipped to side line. Also can consider katrollen and some short sling to hang under highest line and just slide ;) Here some nice advices for crossing bridges. th-cam.com/video/tAFF9onbGqg/w-d-xo.html
Had you in mind when editing. Was wondering if you'll tell me again that it's the fish-eye lens that makes it look steep, or you'll say it was actually steep .. hahaha

Great info! Thanks for taking the time to write that 🙌🏼

Can you use a static line on the wire rope bridge?

Stumbled across your channel and love the content! You guys both seem very relatable too. Need to put this VF on my list.
Thanks for watching the videos, I'm glad you're enjoying them! That VF was definitely one of the year's highlights 😅
Hats off to You and lots of appreciation to them who installed all this....Enjoyed every bit of it !!!
I would actually love to see someone make a video on installing a via Ferrata like that 😅. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for filming this. I enjoyed watching your adventure climbing videos. I have never climbed a mountain before, but after watching this video makes me want to learn the new skill. 😄💖⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️
Respect! Superbe locuri, efort , bucuria ca ati reușit! Vă iubesc!❤❤❤❤😂
Great video/filming. Well done!
Thanks!
Fantastic man! Congratulations you too! I'm so proud of you!
Thanks bro!
Watching you walking on those cables and thinking " Este amigo esta completamente loco " Crongrats my friend you are a brave man .
Tienes razon 😂
Thanks for watching!

You'll love it! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Great shots and amazing video! keep up with the content 🤘🔥
Thanks for watching! Part 2 coming out in a week 💪

Funny enough my rib muscles were cramping a lot next day 😂

Thanks for watching! From memory all I had was water & a few snack bars, all the safety equipment was on my harness (and ofc the helmet)
Sunteți fantastici!❤
River looks excellent for canyoning too 👍👍👍
Nice footage. You should bring a personal anchor so you can easily hang from it to rest up and enjoy the views.

We can't compare rating of via ferata and alpinisme they use the same letter but it's a different activities
Hey, why that title, you did it and had fun, well, except the mosquitoes. :)
But resting sling would come in handy in such difficult ferratas.
I absolutely loved it. The title is half for dramatic purposes but also to make people aware that this isn't easy and they shouldn't take it lightly. Thank you for watching!
where is your chestpiece and rest-loop? This must been super exhausting without a chance to rest, there's loads of pigtails.
Je l'a fait souvent . Et même deux fois de suite .
Your voice on that bridge 😂😂😂
Hi
How long took section 2 and 3 to do?
@@netshutup2339 I don't remember exactly, section 2 is the longest and hardest (due to the duration and constant overhangs). Section 3 was the shortest.
@@TraintoSummit thank you
What is the name of this via ferrata please ?
Via Ferrata du Parc Thermal
@@TraintoSummit Thankyou loved the video. particularly liked your perfect English phases such as scared shitless etc

@@TraintoSummit can't wait for that next video. You got me hooked
Nope. Just no. Amazing shots as usual, but there's no way I'd do that.
There's definitely no way I'm doing it again 😂
Thanks for watching!
So brave! Well done Cris & Vivi👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bro tighten your helmet! Great vid though!
