In Longarone Italy next to Vajont dam. Via Ferrata della Memoria is the name of it

@@JetSetYourself thank you :)

Good luck 🤞 then. Maybe you will let us know how it go. Will be good to find out the perspective of others as well. If you will be allowed to share, of course.

We had the same bridge as you and the mountain guide let us sit down in the middle of the bridge first and then let us hang in the via ferrata set, then we came to a standstill again using exactly the same technique and method as you and crossed the bridge!💪💪💪

They all are similar disciplines. They share elements with each other. Via Ferrata probably is the most flavoured of all (a mix of everything plus something of itself)

I had to do it. I will explain. How did I find it? Extremely easy. It is difficult but compared to anything else I did recently it felt easy.

Hi. That bridge is extremely safe, short and easy. What makes this Via Ferrata difficult is the overhang right at the beginning of the vertical ascent and then some transitions later, higher up (but they are not that difficult for sure not dangerous as the overhanging section at the start of the vertical). Of course, on the bridge ideally you clip your resting as well to not allow for a fall in case you slip between the thin boards

I understand what you are saying. But if you flex your arms you will be done fast. You already have to pull yourself up so many times. If you primarily climb this Via Ferrata with arms flexed you will get them pumped and burned lightning fast. But, as you say, with arms extended you shift all pressure on the wrist and fingers. They will slip eventually and that is the moment when you will fall. Hence, the felacy of the resting system. Most will use that as an aid while advancing. The good part? It is mostly diagonals at low angle and horizontal overhangs. If you lose it you will jot fall vertically but slide on the safety steel cable. On the vertical sections under no circumstances one should commit this felacy. There is where the big danger of falling lays because of arms fully extended.

I get what you say. Not practical. I can explain why if you want.

Initially I start thinking at how much the X4 costs (it is expensive). Then I was telling myself that I have to buy a new one because the X insta360 cameras are very good with great battery. I at a point stopped and looked at the camera in the bushes with regret but I let it go. Then, at the car I checked, I've seen I have all I need to rappel so, I returned and did it. But, my conclusion is that in such cases, is not worth the trouble. Yes, cameras (these cameras) are crazy expensive, still, not worth improvising rappel stations like this for just a camera. Not even curios about rappeling there was I not.

By the way, how do you go with the go 3s? I'm still testing mine. I see its utility. Let's see how it actually holds. I was checking this morning some car shots. Not that great. Straight driving is OK but when I take turns the image makes your head spin

@@JetSetYourself Hi, still testing mine but seems good for simple vlogging like you do, results are pleasant on the video front sound is good and it's easy to carry but I miss the 360 aspect of the x3 and have not tried photos as yet

Știi tu pe cineva? Mai lasă și pentru când dau eu pe acolo să urcăm împreună!

@@JetSetYourself, 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

Să-mi spui cum a fost! Aici unde sunt acum plouă.

@@JetSetYourself, la fel s-a întâmplat acolo. Am verificat condițiile meteo si am renunțat.😭 O sugestie pentru un alt clip: rezistenta carabinierelor(rezistență ax mare, rezistență ax mic, rezistență clapetă deschisă). Concret, este diferenta mare între o carabiniera cu o rezistenta mare de 27kn vs alta de 25 kn? Cifrele sunt aleatorii. Mulțumesc! Sper, sa ti sa para interesant subiectul!

@@JetSetYourself, distracție plăcută!

Thank you so much for your kind words, @sebbosch3863! I'm truly grateful for your support and encouragement. It's a pleasure to be able to share my knowledge and help others. If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!

Hello friend. Thank you! I need to know your difficulty level limit to be able to recommend something tailored. Also, important is the time you have available. Ideally you will stay away from the turist traps. If you are in the area this weekend or the weekend after maybe you join me and another viewer to the channel and we climb together Renke 2 (most probably we will do it this weekend before I leave Austria and venture deep into Italy, but let's see, nothing is set).

@@JetSetYourself thanks for the reply! there are two of us going but we've done lots of climbing and scrambling before. sadly we will only arrive on sunday so will probably miss you, but will be there for two weeks. which ones are the tourist traps worth avoiding? thank you for your reply by the way!!

Human error is all around us. A bit harsh your comment. Is not about staying home. People should learn to take care of themselves, understand the danger and be wide awake while doing it. The short doesn't speak about falling on this particular Via Ferrata but just an example, today I started to have muscle cramps. If I could not control then while making overhanging transitions I would've fell. I guess a experienced bolder climber dealing daily with overhangs will as you did advise me to stay at home if I cannot do the overhangs ignoring that one factor leading to falls might be muscle cramps.

Still work in progress but getting there. Clearly in a better place now. Obviously it comes at a cost.

@@JetSetYourself Same here, I'm still recovering

I hope you now understand the psychological impact when faced with that crossing. If you have strong upper body and are technical and are used to overhangs like this is, easier. But for a first timer or something you don't usually do is the way you've seen. You don't know what to expect and how badly can it get until you don't try it. I'm happy you've stopped by. I hope you overall liked it. Is not a long hard Via Ferrata other than this crossing and the vertical wall to the right but still I think is a place worth stopping and doing it

@@JetSetYourself Yeah the only other time a VF has ever gotten in my head was my very first one- definitely not beginner grade, my friend brought me along thinking I'd do fine, which I did.... but it took some guts. Now I'm older and I am blessed to know that I can just come back another day, I have a place nearby I can stay at. I'll give it another go next week I think. The other routes are fine, nothing to write home about, but still good practice ferratas before heading into actual alpine terrain. I like the shorts climbs, being able to go down again, do another route, go down, and so on. Fitness ferrata haha!

@LatoviusFromLaniakea maybe I will see you there. Let's see the day you go if and when I make it to Austria

It is why we are here; help people get into it safer.

You should see the rain I was going through yesterday. Now, splash proof or jot, Petz fails as a headlamp in terms of versatility and power. Is not that Black Diamond came with an improved up to date model but at the end the features provided are way superior to Petzl. I used the other day the Petzl just because it sits there for nothing for too long. It is impractical, does lack features, is just splash proof and I have to worry about that on heavy rain fals. If I have to keep climbing for 8h rain fall to get out of the situation I need to not think about the headlamp and focus on survival. But, for your case, go with Petzl without hesitation. No need to look elsewhere if this is what you feel best fits your needs.

Different techniques used for that type of bridge. I will make time to record a video about the case scenarios

If you go, after parking the car up close to Le Cime (50 euro if I remember well) take the right not the left. On the right is like in the park only slightly inclined here and there. Enough to enjoy the marvel of Le Cime (the look better from the other side) and to train yourself into doing. My advise to you? Do your best to change your situation. The short way to end your presence in this world is to loose all your muscle mass after 60. The more strength you have the longer you will have the chance to live (anything can happen from an age forward but I hope the idea is clear). I have the se advice to a man I met on the mountain (at 2544 m). He told me his ankle is weak. Mine is weak as well but I train the he'll out of it. To make sure it gets stronger and stronger.

They are made by a local company.

Thank you. The rope diameter used for building the bridges should be enough to gold a baby elefant easily (maybe more). The material usually doesn't rust. Does it lose elasticity? Yes but hard to see with the plain eye. In theory someone checks the Via Ferrata routes form time to time. In practice you never know when if something will fail (many natural factors influence this). Be concerned where you have the safety line cut at both ends. With the safety steel cable of a Via Ferrata you usually are not getting concerned because if the bolt before or ahead gives up the cable will still be hold by the other bolts. On bridges based on what cable might theoretically give up you can be exposed less or more but more than on the Via Ferrata itself. Overall we should trust the route equipment but always be mindful and visually inspect, check and test what goes ahead of us.

@@JetSetYourself thank you very much. Ofc one should always keep in mind that anything can fail. I understand that It is highly unlikely for one of the two cables fail and use proper equipment.Didn't knew that it could hold that much weight though 😅

Let's say it differently. Any bridge should easily hold 1000kg statically loaded and cope with dynamic loads of at least 400kg (bounce, slightly jump)

@@JetSetYourself thank you very much. I find it useful knowing such information

I have both the climbing and backpack mounts from insta360. I mostly use the climbing mount because it provides more flexibility. The backpack mount helps getting steadier shots.

@@JetSetYourself i will check it out. I have hardtime mounting it while hiking especially the downhill videos are shaky

@celulatamil it takes a lot of effort to get them steady. The mount only helps with the perspective. It doesn't help with removing movement / shake. For that you have to work hard on the way you move to minimise shaking. Quite hard to do. I'm still working to figuring out the best approach to each situation

Don't be so harsh with yourself. You are up to requirements 😂 If you want to chat more about it and see if it can go somewhere will you please send me an email to JetSetYourself Gmail?

Agree completely on that. I would compare it like this: If during a multi pitch climb I was only secured the same way as on a via ferrata, I would not be comfortable to climbing higher than a 4. At the same time I'm comfortable on D/E via ferrata

♥️

The Prussik on the safety steel cable will for sure fail at any time. Safe to connect to the shock absorber but in this case you will most probably not be able to leverage the Prussik properly.

We should definitely climb together this reminder of the summer

@@JetSetYourself Yes that would be nice although I have not practiced above level D much recently

Let's stick to C/D. No need to exagerate. Remember where you were last year. Let's not get back there.

♥️

Agree here, though you could go even further. Free solo and deep water solo is probably the most dangerous, but honestly, jumping into such debats just doesn't make sense. It's like iPhone vs. Android, an endless debate. Both have their own weaknesses and strengths. So does rock climbers and via ferrata climbers. And to be super honest, I mean even bouldering in the gym, you make one wrong fall, hit your head on a volume and there's that. I don't want to scare people away of course, but all forms of rock climbing is dangerous and accidents happen. End of story.

Buy what best clicks with your brain. In my opinion the adjustable gets you into trouble. Makes you consume energy unnecessarily.

@@JetSetYourself, Understand. 👍

Nu există așa ceva. Mâine ajungi acolo? Asta îndemână Sâmbătă vei face trasee? La vremea aceasta din an va fi plin de oameni. O să vezi și corturi pe lângă râu. Te poți socializa cu celelalte grupuri. La final însă ești singur și pe cont propriu. Va trebui să te obișnuiești cu idea. De organizat, greu pentru că nu sunt suficienți pasionați ca să fie așa, ad-hoc. Am întâlnit de-a lungul anilor grupuri organizate mereu de ghizi care fac asta pentru bani sau de cineva pasionat care își aduce prietenii. Niciodată grupuri create ad-hoc.

@@JetSetYourself, maine-dimineata voi ajunge acolo si tot maine, voi face cateva trasee, singur sau nu; sâmbătă voi lucra... De acele grupuri pe care le-ai enumerat(cele de pe urma carora se castiga bani), am aflat si eu de pe net, dar nu caut asa ceva( incepator nu sunt, detin intregul echipament, masina personala am, deci...).

@MonsieurBlue mergi singur. Ai grijă. Baia de Fier are cablurile French style. Cele mai grele și riscante să te accidentezi sunt Amfiteatrul Zmeilor și Spirala Muierilor ca nivel D, toate cele de nivel E. Atenție dacă te încumeți la Mecanicul. Este un D unde dacă va fi să cazi e rău (secțiunea cu inele). Asigură-te că ai brațele odihnit la Mecanicul și că folosești foarte inteligent picioarele. Să ai cu tine o buclă de repaos cu carabinieră de Via Ferrata suficient de lungă să o poți agăța de inele în cazul în care obosești și simți că ești pe cale să pierzi controlul. La Spirala Muierilor înainte de culoar și după este greu. Restul ușor. Dacă după culoar (este un overhang agresiv pe brațe) ești obosit ieși pe Via Ferrata adiacenta. La Saritoarea Ursului ai mare grijă. Dacă va fi să cazi sigur rupi ceva.

@@JetSetYourself, îți mulțumesc frumos!

@@JetSetYourself, tocmai ce am venit... Mi-a placut foarte, foarte mult! Ma voi intoarce acolo ori de cate ori voi avea posibilitatea. Imi voi cumpara un sistem de odihna( chiar e indicat!), exact cum ai spus si tu. 👍 Toate cele bune!

Thank you ♥️

For you, I and many trained individuals for sure, this is easy. But imagine that Romania has three clusters of Via Ferrata and only a hand full of them in total. This one is one where many first timers arrive. They always make it to the top (if people fall and get injured on a Via Ferrata it means the architect did it wrong, right?) but easy is for sure not. Not for them. They will be afraid, they will feel like losing control, from time to time they will just stretch themselves to make it to the next ring and peg. But yes, as you say by just reading the map it is short and not that hard (except when you climb up and down to install the cameras and back at the car you realise how tired you now are). I climbed this right after pneumonia to see how I go. I almost did not make it. Now, it is easy back again. I've seen people falling at the start of it. I don't see this Via Ferrata as technically challenging or with elements that might put the climber in danger.

@@JetSetYourself No one should start on a C/D route

@@ViaFerrataCH C/D is indeed absolutely not for beginners. Maybe for rock climbers that do their first via ferrata, but definitely not for normal beginners. The hardest grade that beginners should ever consider as their first via ferrata is B/C and preferably something where most of the route is easier than that. Oh, and don't ever climb via ferrata on your limit. If you're trying to push your limits, go sport climbing.

@@angrybirder9983 I tried sport climbing (5a) and didn't enjoy it, but sometimes it's hard to know how difficult a route is going to be until you do it, and usually once you start there's no stopping 😄

@@ViaFerrataCH That remark about "go sport climbing instead" was more aimed at OP.

Thank you ♥️ Wild Ferenc has an advantage over Via Ferrata at Baia de Fier. The safety steel cable is installed German style. It is well tensioned (almost) compared with the French style safety steel cable from Baia de Fier (loose). For people shorter than 172 Wild Ferenc might create trouble on the two left/right transitions and then on the last transition right before the bridge. These transitions otherwise are a bit far to the left or right but not difficult. At Baia de Fier, the two Via Ferrata you've mentioned are hard. They have the potential to brake you. This will never happen on Wild Ferenc. On Spirala Muierilor you have right before the culoare that overhang that requires a lot of arm force. You exhaust there your uper body strength and right after the culoare follows the vertical that is both a hit technical and hard on the upper body. Definitely Spirala Muierilor has elements that can break you. Wild Ferenc can get you tired but one way or another you should be able to make it to the end without the risk of falling because it is difficult but because it is a demanding vertical climb. Amfiteatrul Zmeilor I will say is the more dangerous of the three with the zig-zag being a real danger for the safety of the climber because of its technical complexity. Right after that, in e you cross the cave, Amfiteatrul Zmeilor continues to be demanding. I will say more than Spirala Muierilor. Baia de Fier should not be compared to Wild Ferenc. They are two different animals. But, overall, Wild Ferenc is higher and easier. The experience is more about excitement than solving a problem Is not necessarily easy but for sure not as technical as Baia de Fier.

I think it's a waist mount for an insta360, there are some off brand ones for about 50 bucks you can find. I personally prefer the backpack mount, the waist belt does have some benefits though like ease of mounting and the camera will be further away from you and also around the middle of your body.

I use both the climbing and backpack mounts from insta360. In this video I use the climbing mount. The backpack mount produces less shaky images because we sway the back less than the hips. We also have smoother shakes on the back than on the hips. In my opinion so far, they both are a pain. I yet cannot get the quality I desire. I am working to finding the better technique of doing it. The big limitation of the backpack mount is that once plugged onto the backpack you no longer have easy access to the backpack. I need access in case of emergency hence, I avoid on purpose using it. The issue with the climbing mount is that I post both bolts. I will publish the story on the channel when I will have the time and also can do it because now will unvail some secrets if I do it. I bought new ones but it got me into trouble. I almost lost the camera because of it.

@@JetSetYourself having a backpack with an additional quick access zipper on the side helped me a lot on my last trip, maybe it's something you want to look into. also i have my basic first aid stuff in a pouch on the front so i don't need to take off the backpack in a pinch. ... and if something serious ever happens i'll honestly just ditch the camera, can save up again and get a new one 😅

​@@samuelerikcolombo9090damnit I want to try it now, seeing as they come that cheap apparently

@LatoviusFromLaniakea I agree with you. At the end of the day (but I still test the two) the backpack mount appears to be better. Work in progress. Still testing and checking which one can output better results.

Ciao dalla Romania (al momento). Thank you. Thank you. My issue is that I usually don't use oil in my cooking. I only recently started to use it more. Still makeing it a habit. I speak about olive oil. Usually I add olive oil at the end on the pizza if I don't forget to do so 😂😜 I totally agree with you. I will do my best to better integrate oil in my cooking. Soon hand made pasta. I only need to find the time (but now I'm about to embark in a fullonth around Via Ferrata in Italia. 😂😁

@@JetSetYourself me too. Olive oil just in the end 😉 when pizza is crispy. Best of all and thanks for the video

@thyhabit love it. It means we were thinking the same. This makes me happy.

I will say they are pretty similar. They both have at least one twist that can get hard (tricky) to transition. More effort is required on Wild Ferenc. This is for sure. Casa Zmeului has a more abrupt start. Wild Ferenc builds momentum. On Wild Ferenc you reach momentu only right before the bridge. On Casa Zmeului you touch the peak of it soon after the start.

@@JetSetYourself Cheers, that puts it into perspective on what to expect!

It is indeed. Maximum attention required. Is talking at the same time with climbing consider multitasking?
