Italy's Scariest Hike

Well, that was terrifying.
Piazzetta Piz Boe in the Italian Dolomities is consistently rated as an extremely difficult via ferrata. That's accurate - mostly because the majority of the hike is just a vertical climb up slick rock face, with few holds and insane amounts of exposure. But you know we love a good challenge!
This was one of our favorite hikes in the Dolomites, and definitely one we will never forget!
DISCLAIMER: We do not recommend attempting this via ferrata without plenty of experience and proper gear. As always, hike and climb at your own risk.

What's next, everest? You guys are killing me, I can barely watch. What I find incredibly awesome is that you have each other to share this with. Of all your incredible experiences, I find that to be the most incredible. There are only a handful of people willing to take on these challenges, but that you found each other is really amazing. I love that.

Thanks so much -- you've definitely hit upon the essence of our good fortune. We'd both gone through so many years without ever finding a true kindred spirit that neither of us expected it to happen. But when it did, just like when hanging from these cables, we knew better than to let go! ❤️

So I’ve watched a lot of your other videos that I thought were “on the edge”… now, they seem positively pedestrian by comparison! About halfway up I was thinking “Gee, I hope there is an easier way down for them.” Always a pleasure to watch you guys. Thanks for sharing the journey with us. 🙂

Haha ya these hard via ferratas can play with your mind a bit. On the one hand, there's this miraculous metal cable 3000 feet of the ground that makes you feel grateful and safe. On the other hand, if the cable breaks you're falling 3000 feet. One thing for sure -- it's a heck of a rush! ❤️

Haha yes! For me, standing at the bottom looking up was actually the scariest part. It didn't look quite as steep on camera, but when I looked up I honestly didn't quite see how it was climb-able. I actually felt better once we got up a couple hundred feet up on the wall because then I knew we could do it, but then Elise got more scared because she worried her arms might give out! Overall, though, the nervousness ultimately made it even more fun and unique! --A

@@LiveHardxLoveHard most definitely the camera can never fully do justice to the reality, which makes your accomplishment that much more impressive. I could certainly tell you became more comfortable as the climb went on. If anyone could do it I knew you both could. You always encourage each other which is so necessary when doing challenges like that.

Thanks Paul, and yes it would definitely have been easier to smear our feet on the rock face if we'd brought climbing shoes. But since we knew we could hold the cable, we felt confident that smearing with the approach shoes would work fine, and it did. Really there were only a few spots that were totally without footholds -- but climbing shoes would have felt nice there for sure! And those refugios at the top -- amazing. And their soup was legit delicious too! ❤️

Well done you two! Tomasselli and Piazetta are great, classical routes for via feratta. There are so many more though, in the circle with a 20 miles radius from where you've done those two there are around 70 of them. Only looking straight back from the wall you have the Padon ridge , VF delle Trincee on volcanic rock, which has some interesting galleries along the way and then, Marmolada with VF Punta Pena and VF Eterna Carote which are ascending on different ridges to the highest peak in the Dolomites. Next time visit Cortina, there are some great routes in Tofana and one very difficult in Faloria, I dare to say more technical than Piazetta (VF Sci Club 18). Congratulations, this was a very finely documented adventure. You two are fun to watch, very genuine and great with camera work. Wished I was that good. Anyway, wish me good weather because I am off for two weeks starting next week, in the Dolomites. Piazetta is on the list, that would be my 3rd ascent of this particular one. I absolutely love it!

Hi guys. Awsome video again. I'm here in the dolomites at my house every summer and ski season. I have a top tip for via ferrata. If you take with you a static loop and two karabiners you are then able to clip in and take a well earned rest , hands free. I do this a lot. Try a sports ferrata , if you have time. They are short and have a variety of demanding climbing situations. I can recommend Clap Varmost and Villa Sentina my local ones. Enjoy and keep posting. Darren 🇬🇧

You know when Adam doesn't have any qualms about using the cables, then it's off the charts 😂 Congrats on an amazing climb! I'd like to do this one day, but will for sure need to work up to it regarding exposure. I think it's key not to your hands and arms do too much work and get tired and shaky.

You're right about that, Will! When I looked at how vertical and slick that thing was, the first thing I told myself was just be safe. And in a lot of places, that meant using those cables without remorse 🤣. Love that you're planning to work up to this kind of climb with gradual exposure training, because that's the part that gets people. If you did every move on this climb close to the ground it would be a very hard workout, but you could probably do it today. However, the high exposure makes people severely over-grip and, as you say, get shaky and exhausted and that's where the trouble starts. So just doing normal training while also gradually getting used to big-drop exposure will have you in perfect condition for all of these hikes -- and we can't wait to hear about it when you do them! --A

It’s clear that you are continuing to try new approaches (as it were), critically reflecting on what you are doing and how to portray it. A suggestion, you’ve perhaps considered this one. Trail to Mt. Constance in Olympic NP. Not near as difficult as many of the others you’ve done, but it’s nice country out here, lovely views. Trail is short but there are lots of neighboring places to take on and enjoy. Many thanks for your work.

Travel to the inner parts requires lots of time & patience. You’ll find Cuban’s are very friendly, warm spirited and all around hospitable. The music & food is fantastic! Based on what I’ve seen in your travels I suggest staying in Havana where there’s plenty to see & not as difficult to get around. Here’s some suggestions; 1. Old Havana (Habana Vieja) 2. El Malecón 3. Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro 4. El Capitolio 5. Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabana 6. Museo Nacional de Bellas Arte 7.

Oh my gosh I totally relate to your situation! When Adam first started taking me on more challenging climbs, I was way too afraid of heights to do anything with long vertical drops like this. Gradually, over the years, I just started adding a little bit more exposure here and there, and pretty soon things that used to scare me seemed totally ok, and things that seemed way out of reach seemed potentially doable. Of course I'll probably never be sitting and eating snacks over 3000 foot drops like Adam does, but gradual exposure training really has helped a lot to overcome my fear of heights. Maybe you could just start with things that are a little bit scary, like crawling (so you know you won't fall even if you get vertigo) to look over the edge of cliff on a hike, and then take it gradually from there? ❤️ --E

This is very well filmed. Congrats on the amazing footage! A few comments: this is not a hike, any via ferrata is a climbing! I have just returned from the Dolomites, where I did six ferratas in the Passubio region (south Dolomites, bordering Veneto) and one further north in Parcines. I always carried my hiking poles in the backpack because they were very useful on the hiking down, which is so punishing on the knees. I notice that you did not, any reason why?? Also, my local guide taught me how to “ski” down the huge scree chutes. That technique was such a blessing on the way down, as it saved so much time and effort! Did you guys do that?? Another unforgettable and amazing thing about the Dolomites are the rifugios!! It never ceased to amaze me that almost everywhere, high up the mountains there was a cosy rifugio with excellent homemade food, cold beer and flawless italian espresso!!

Eduardo that trip sound so fun!! That's probably a good idea to bring hiking poles just in case. We generally didn't feel like we needed ours, but when we were descending Tomaselli they sure would have been nice. We love "skiiing" on scree as long as there is no one below us, but on most of our Dolomites descents it seemed like there were people below hiking up, and of course we wouldn't want to kick a rock down toward them. And totally agree about the refugios -- they are the best!!!
