I DO NOT recommend this via Ferrata! (Chamonix)

This is hands down the hardest via Ferrata I've ever done.
After doing a mountaineering course in Chamonix, I went to attempt one of the 'top things to do in Chamonix'.
One of the most difficult Via Ferratas in the Alps. Via Ferrata du Parc Thermal.

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

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

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.

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.

Stumbled across your channel and love the content! You guys both seem very relatable too. Need to put this VF on my list.

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!

Nice footage. You should bring a personal anchor so you can easily hang from it to rest up and enjoy the views.

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!

@jamiemacmillan4056 6 ай бұрын

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 😂

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.

@TraintoSummit 9 ай бұрын

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!

@andrzejfabianski4948 5 ай бұрын

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqd2eZyg08iroZs.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
