Very good: Showing determination and persistence of a climber! Good: Camera work and hardware. Not so good: Wrong selection of via ferrata, according to skills of a climber. Very bad: Shoes. Oh boy.
You are right on every point. This ferrata was too hard for me. The reason I though it would be OK is because it is graded C/D and a week before that I went to via ferrata in Okič which is B and it was very easy. Almost too easy, that is why I decided to step up thinking "how hard can it be?" This ferrata should be marked as 'D' to discourage unprepared climbers like myself. Shoes - indeed a terrible choice. In Okič they were fine because that route has a lot of footholds so you never really smear the rock with your outsole. But on this rock they were very slippery and the absence of good footholds meant more load on the hands, thus tiring me quicker.
@@ShevaHiking Honest response, thank you. I truly believe that with some quality climbing shoes and a little bit of practise on leg movement, you will enjoy it next time! I am looking forward to a video of another try...
