my blood doesn't run cold, but my hands start sweating... That's probably my body telling me that it's a little suicidal and would rather like to slip off with wet hands instead of having to endure such a situation any longer 😆
@@michiganjack1337 I feel you heights are one of the only things that scares me, and worst part is I used to do parkour and jump roofs, but committing would sometimes take minutes 😂
En cierta manera es lo mismo que anclarse con los 2 cabos a la via ferrata, si peta el cable te vas para abajo, igual que la anilla. Osea en ninguno de los casos hay redundancia, luego se podría debatir si las anillas de las cadenas son fiables o no...
@@Carpetslipper That's a selection bias. If everybody did this dangerous rock climbing, I'm sure the death rate would be far superior to the death rate of staying at home (which everybody is doing too). Just like more people die by riding a bike than by flying a plane. But my chances of crashing if I fly a plane are close to 100%, because I have zero experience with piloting an aircraft. So obviously, the bike ride is the safest choice for me by far, as it is for the vast majority of people. Even if the death rate is higher with biking.
As a non-climber I am amazed by people who can compose themselves at this altitude. I take you're a climber with experience who isn't impressed by this video in the least.
WIKIPEDIA "A via ferrata is a climbing route that employs steel cables, rungs or ladders, fixed to the rock to which the climbers affix a harness with two leashes, which allows the climbers to secure themselves to the metal fixture and limit any fall. The cable and other fixtures, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps, and ladders and bridges, provide both footings and handholds, as well. This allows climbing on otherwise dangerous routes without the risks of unprotected scrambling and climbing or the need for technical climbing equipment. They expand the opportunities for accessing difficult peaks as an alternative to rock climbing and mountaineering, both of which require higher skills and more specialized equipment."

@@xavierharvey4961 it's not for adrenaline, escalators have the most developed tendons among human beings, they also have to train years to reach the level of expertise, saying they do this for the adrenaline is an insult, they don't dedicate their whole lives to the sport just because "adrenaline" I assure you that most of them love nature and do this for the sense of freedom and realization it gives, you're not like "every other human being out there" those words are powerful in everyone that practices an extreme sport, extreme sports practitioners also don't do it for the money, the experience is marvelous, doing something like this dude? It makes you love yourself a lot more, some of them earn money if the opportunity arise, but no one begins doing something like this for the money, or because you want to have a nice body for the girls, or because you want to demonstrate someone to the world, those reasons are bullshit reasons people give to justify something they cannot understand
Con entrenamiento, todo se consigue... Esque yo lo que más hago es escalada, para hacer esta vía Ferrata, es necesario un mínimo nivel de escalada, es dura y técnica.... Pero está muy divertida
Since I've seen a few comments on it, *most* of the time these fixtures are installed by someone who is hooked in at the top and lowered down. They don't just free climb up there lol.
@@jeremysmith9694 Not knowing something doesn't mean you've no brain. I know thousands of things you don't know and the other way around. Doesn't mean that one of us is stupid... But your statement is.
@@fluseint.1303 I think not knowing something is the definition of dumb. More than not knowing something, but not thinking about something in order to understand it better. Sometimes intelligence takes a little effort to understand something more than you currently do.
@@jeremysmith9694 That thought is dumb and funny. It would mean that everyone who don't know how to repair a car is dumb, not knowing how to make cheese makes you dumb... Etc. Your "logic" lacks of logic. It's impossible to know everything. You're born more or less intelligent than others but all your knowledge is education/learning which doesn't make you more intelligent...
He literally had a rope on him the whole time, so he wasn't in danger for even 1 sec.. show me someone doing it without a harnest, then we can talk about ball weight again
@@flyingkompot3123 Via Ferratas difficulties are rated in letters from A to E, and then there are like two or three Fs and one G worldwide, but 99% are A to E. My first ever Via Ferrata, the "Kaiser Max Klettersteig", was an E (hardest Via Ferrata of Tirol) and I barely got out of breath (to be fair, I climb 7c, so this helps). What I am trying to say is Via Ferratas are NOT HARD! If a via ferrata would be hard, it wouldn't be a via ferrata anymore but just a sports climbing route and you wouldn't climb it with those ferrata sets but with a normal climbing rope. The problem is, the hardest you could make a ferrata, would just be a horizontal steel rope through a roof, but even that wouldn't be really hard to climb (would be G then, so, the max.). The Ferrata shown in the Video is named "Feliz Navidad" and located in spain and is mostly B-D/E with a short E Part just shortly before the end, so indeed not very challenging. So... yeah, after giving it one secured go with a harnest at first, I would actually consider to "climb" this without any safety gear, because.. it REALLY is not that dangerous.
I once knew a guy who didn’t want to try rock climbing citing the reason that he didn’t trust the climbing rope (which has a breaking strain of like 2.4 tonnes)
Ive climbed the Nose on El Cap and the direct northwest wall on half dome but i still think this would count as an adventure. Its not a style of climbing most American climbers would tolerate such a route in america but its inevitable such routes are going to be established here in the states. I"d love to climb something like this in Europe or Asia but I don't thimk anything like this should be built on public lands. Not here in the states unless it was a way to bring in considerable tax revenue which was used to maintain legitimate climbing routes and approaches through out the country. Tax revenue is the only reason i"d support such a heavy handed climbing route. Its just an affront to traditional climbing.
for this one its seems easier... i always think about people on k2, those laddders, ropes ext. they had video for one person died when rope breaks and someone died from that.
@@Dankman9 he swung the ring with his right hand, let go, grabbed his carabiner, and clipped it into the ring as it swung back toward him. He couldn't reach it with the carabiner initially.
Buen vértigo y buen deporte es sorprendente como pueden sujetar tan bien donde han perforado esas rocas para colocar los punteros y soportar el peso en cualquier momento se podría desprender una roca o el puntero ya que está echo por el humano.
Imagin to be the first: Ohhh kay, lets install some saves here. I just hang at that wall, leaning back, having my drill with me and installing a chain... somehow. Now lets test it: Wow, what a nice swing!
I think it's very common (especially for long routes) to use a top-rope approach when bolting and preparing the wall. I.e. you will descend down from the top while being anchored to a tree or something similar. Virtually no risk for the ones that do it, as long as their gear holds up.
It’s funny how in the eyes of the public since Alex solo’ed el cap now every single achievement in climbing that doesn’t mean an imminent risk to your own life is not worth celebrating, even tho the people saying that wouldn’t even dare to climb a 20 feet hill if they have a chance of slipping
the way the roof is protected with a vertical cable is so sketch. If you fell, you'd take a pretty big whip onto your static tether. I'd be clipping my PAS to the rungs.
Those chains look... super thin. Especially given a fall there would shock load them significantly. I know the ferrata lanyards have some shock absorption built in but this gives me sweat palms for sure.
