The Daubenhorn via ferrata is the longest in Switzerland, graded K5 (extremely difficult). It is made of 2,000 metres of steel cable, 215 metres of ladder and a couple of steel cable bridges.
It took me more than 4 hours to complete and was really demanding. After reaching the top, the way down leads across a snowfield and then through the scenic Lämmerenboden Valley back to Gemmi.

what is the meaning of "solo climb" in context of via ferrata? Withouth protection?

@ZenHikingSwitzerland 2 года назад

Hi, I feel some people are a bit confused about the term "solo" in reference to climbing. Very simply put: "Free Solo" = no ropes, no protection "Free Climb" = ropes, no additional climbing aiders "Solo Climb" = alone, ropes and gear are allowed

@poustevnik1 2 года назад

@cloudmak111 2 года назад

@@ZenHikingSwitzerland you are confusing people, Free climbing is a form of rock climbing in which the climber may use climbing equipment such as ropes and other means of climbing protection

@TheWolfalpino 28 дней назад

As an ex climber, I can say that they are totally safe, but the major safety is in both confidence and focus. A balance of focus with no stress is the best thing. An amazing way to balance yourself

@TelPrank Год назад

@@walterdraper6630 today everyone kinda hero or something😂

@brinckau Год назад

@@walterdraper6630 It's simple: A villain would risk your life so he can have fun. A hero would risk his own life so you can have fun. Those who installed this via ferrata risked their lives so you can have fun. And they don't even make a profit out of it (they are a non-profit organization). It's not easy to climb those mountains with some heavy equipment like a rotary hammer drill and an engine generator, to drill all those holes, to fix rungs and huge ladders, while hanging over the void. Plus, they thoroughly check the fixtures on a regular basis, to make sure that it stays safe over time.

Even though it's a "via ferrata" with cables, steps and protection, unless you're already a good climber, this is a challenging climb because of the altitude gain and the solitude. If you're interested, I would strongly suggest using the services of a guide.
