Surviving a Level E Overhang on Schlossberg Via Ferrata: Real Safety Tips from an Average Climber
In this video, I tackle the notoriously difficult Schlossberg Via Ferrata, a Level E route with constant overhangs that push even experienced climbers to their limits. I start by addressing a critical danger on this route: the risk of falling on a vertical segment where you can end up below the anchor and safety steel cable. If that happens, the 2-meter deployment range of your Via Ferrata lanyard and shock absorber can make it nearly impossible to recover-and if you fall again while trying to climb back up, the consequences could be severe, from breaking your system to risking a deadly impact.
I then dive into a key technique: the forearm hook. By using vector forces, this move helps you stay steady and maintain a good resting position, even on intense overhangs.
Iâm not a professional guide, an expert, or someone born in the mountains doing this daily. Iâm an average person-a software engineer who used to work 14-hour days in Central London. Yet here I am, sharing real-world safety advice that anyone can apply. This makes me the perfect role model for everyday adventurers who want to take on challenges like this.
I also showcase the advantage of using Ferrata.Bloc for safety and stability. And finally, in a bit of sarcasm directed at influencers, I give you my 'best shot,' which is far from perfect-because this is real life, without filters, without deceiving the viewer.

Thanks for pointing out the dangers of falling on a via ferrata. My suspicion would be that falling on a very steep section that is not completely vertical could be even more prone to injury. On the vertical you at least have a free fall away from the wall and if the shock absorber works properly something like a hard catch on a massive whipper. If you can get back up you might even walk away from that. If the wall is not completely vertical you'll get dragged along the wall until the shock absorber deploys.
You are spot on.
Now I understand what in Via Ferrata is meant by overhang. In climbing you usually call a wall an overhang if the wall itself is steeper than 90°. But in Via Ferrata you call it overhang if your body is leaning back if your arm is fully extended and feet on the wall?
Your definition of a overhang it correct. In the video, without leveraging arms you cannot uphold yourself upright, because the incline of the wall is more than 90 (your fit are going under and the wall is pushing you out on your back). On that segment where I was recording if you want to stay parallel with the wall you cannot because feet are under the wall and the section with the safety steel cable keeps pushing your back out
Thanks, your videos are great for educational purpose! One question, do you have any suggestion of how to avoid the third karabiner dangling, assuming we attach a karabiner to the third, shorter arm typically available in via ferrata kits for resting. I know independent resting devices have some advantages, like not stressing the ferrata kit, but sometimes having the resting system connected to the dissipator might have some perks. I know you must not connect it directly to the harness, since it would bypass the dissipator in case of a fall. Do you have experience with some kind of weak connector that would break in case of a fall?
This is why via ferratas are awesome. The average person can get a taste of what used to be reserved for extreme mountaineers, alpinists and climbers. But this is also why they are so dangerous. All of the sudden you have average people high up in the mountains on near vertical rocky faces. You have to be smart about it. I think resting system should officially be part of every via ferrata kit. Problem is companies only rent out helmets, harness and via ferrata sets . If that is the case bring your own resting system. It is a game changer.
Thanks for the videos, for years I was planning to climb via ferratas and finally this year I found the time to experience my first via ferrata with my 12 year old daughter. Before the trip your videos gave a good understanding about the challenges. Great stuff.
What a story. What empowerment to your daughter. A lesson to learn from. Amazing. I hope the adventure was as expected and more.
I watch your videos a long time now and i realy like to watch them because they are entertaining and also educational...greetings from austria, viennađȘđ
Good tips! Keep it up!đȘ
Thank you đȘ
This should be C/D then because you have option to pull yourself with steel cable. Someone says its shamy, but its not if you never done that, its easy to lose control then. Still good way to aid, it was a nice aid good job for her. Keep on training đ
When you stop, and starting to do something please hold on steel cable. We all know the first rule of via Ferata: Don't fall .. đ
Another observation with the first fall of the beginner: He set his foot perfectly sideways, which I was taught is a big no no. Always use a step with your toes towards the rock. Using the side of your shoes is instable and slips easily..
In sport climbing you are using both feet and hands and after level 5 the holds are more technical, in VF everything is easier and the grades are just a personal estimate which you may not agree with, I have seen young, strong people do level D+ first time because of strength without speed or technique
Hi, thanks for the video. The metal plate cannot be used to rappelling the other person back down, right?
Yes. You can. It is enough to lift the other loop (you have two loops) and the climber below will be lowered (by lifting the other loop you give slack practically). Of course, is not as easy as using an ATC or any other rappel device because the purpose of the plate is to auto block but if you want to lower someone, you can.
@@JetSetYourself Good to know, thanks for the quick reply!
Thanks for very useful video! I am going to do a via ferrata with pendulum swing but i am not able find anywhere what is the best way to connect ferrata pendulum chain/rope. Should i connect to via ferrata rest loop or directly to my climbing harness?
Connect a static lanyard to your sitting harness belay loop at one end and to the other end add a carabiner that you will clip to the loop of the pendulum. Then, for redundancy if you don't have other redundant system at hand provided by whomever built it, clip the carabiners of the Via Ferrata Set to the pendulum as well.
Hi can you share some ways to connect to a zip line? Many thanks
I can do that as long as I find a Via Ferrata with a Via Ferrata. Otherwise I will improvise one and show. I just ziplined while canyoning on an improvised zipline. Was fun.
He should just train more core strenght and muscles. Before going via Ferata you should learn the basics of climbing. Its important to know how to behave on vertical climbing
Thank you for your videos. This one was the first I watched before doing my first via ferrata.
Thank you for sharing with me. It helps. Makes me smile knowing that I could help.
So true! Thanks for sharing your experience. ThatÂŽs my experience watching some of these climbers.
last week i was on a via ferrata with level D, there were quite a lot of level D sections and in front of me was a father with his son who was 12 years old...here you could see the great interaction of the two, firstly you could see that the little boy already had experience, because he mastered the difficult sections very well and his father also motivated him again and again with words and sentences like...take your time...think carefully about what you are doing...concentrate on yourself etc. was really great to see! greetings from austria, vienna
Greetings from let me check where exactly I am đ
Plus clipping 3 items per anchor is slower and more tiring than 2
Yes, agreed. Many times annoying.
I think the bigger problem is having bent arms traversing an overhang. "How to tire yourself quickly 101"
Yes, true.
Itâs not really the âbiggerâ problem. If you fixed that one technique problem of the bent arms, he is still too young and inexperienced probably to be for some reason climbing that section without the resting system. It just wouldnât make sense
@@loniousmonk My personal opinion is that there is no such thing as "too young". If you can rock climb 6b - you will be able to do any via ferrata. And if we take someone like Adam Ondra - he was onsighting 7b+ at age 8. Brooke Raboutou - 8a at age 9.
You can't say that falling is a part of rock climbing in general. While that may be true in the climbing gym or on outdoor sport climbing walls, in alpine climbs you are not supposed to fall. There are fewer protections and they are further apart, and for the easier sections there is often none.
Noted. Good point. Thank you!
I think its the most interesting via feratta in dolomites. Loved it
I 100% agree!
the real purpose of this numbering on the via ferrata is that if you need help and an emergency call is made, you know approximately where the person to be rescued is located with the help of the number...in this year 2024 alone, over 1300 mountain rescue operations have been carried out in austria since january
For the purpose mentioned by you I would've added to each zone a plate order number. In this way you know with even more precision. But yes, you are right, this is one of the reasons. The other is to help you asses your pace. You get to understand how much effort and probably time will take to completion based in history. By having the zones numbered you know when you get to 3 out of 6 what to expect in terms of effort, water management and time required to completion.
@@JetSetYourself true words!
Tx4 is great shoe , i hope tx5 is waterproof.
TX5 it is waterproof (as any other shoe, up to a point). I think there is a GoreTex and non GoreTex TX4. I don't remember TX5
Will you review the skylotec rider 3.0 via ferrata set? I would love to hear your opinion on it. The design is impressive but with so many moving parts if something goes wrong with the "carabiner" you are only left with 1 normal carabiner.. this is my fear and this is why im putting off buying it atm.. also it is quite expensive
I wanted to buy it at a point but I could not find any availability. I will search more. If I will be able to find a good deal I will purchase and test to then review
i thinks Skylotec had a massive Recall on the rider 3.0... i hope they fix issue i am also interested in buying one! i also hope the bring the carabiner as a single buy option
I saw one being used once and was not impressed plus it's slow
Have you heard of Extraplomix via ferrata? I hunch it is the hardest possible.
@@violahaag8981 I think building level f via ferrata is irresponsible. That one is going to hurt people
This is a permanently closed Via Ferrata if I recall properly.
JetSet you must try Gailer Hengst via ferrata
I've added it on my list
Geiler Hengst Solo is tough on Mental endurance, did it early this year. i think i took a 5-10 minute Break before the last E passage on the Headwall... i knew i was alone on the VF and had no phone reception.. and the last E is rly intimidating if you are right infront of it :D IMO its quite similar in Difficulty and Feeling as the "Nasenwand" VF E-Section
Very good imput. Thank you for the share. Will help a lot.
VF guides don't exist...Alpinists smell a good money and guiding clients on via ferrata...
i've seen a lot of VF guides that explicitly say that they alter their grading based on exposure, even when in reality that doesn't really change anything beyond the purely mental struggle.
Thete are a couple of training routes in Switzerland
Thanks for every tip, your channel is awesome
where is this?
Bovec, Slovenia đžđź
Excellent and very informative video. Many thanks!
Thanks to you I made such a habit giving a little tug for my carabiners to make sure they are clipped properly that when I finsihed the via ferrata section i put my carabiners on my gear loop and unconciosly checked the carabiners đ
Hello. Many times they snap and I risk ending up disconnected. As a friend was saying the other day, when you go on a Via Ferrata you know, you are able to manage expectations, know how much water to take, etc. When you go in new routes it all is unforseen and you have to pay maximum attention including checking the carabiners that they properly connected. With regards to the resting system that I use I realised that on extreme routes where I know I might rapidly need to plug it, I leave the shorter lanyard hanging (I don't keep it connected on the gear loop) to the put it in its place once not used only once I'm out of the trouble sections.
i was at a via ferrata seminar and was lucky enough to have one of the best mountain guides in austria as an instructor and he said that it is always better to use every possibility to be able to climb the via ferrata safely and there were all the techniques you showed...and all those who ridicule something like that and don't think it's good are just stupid people who don't know how to use such techniques in an emergency!!!!but what is always important is to be well prepared...read the topo, watch the weather forecast and know what you are doing and where you are! greetings from austria,vienna
I have never used this system, but I will implement it.By the way, yesterday there were few people in Baia de Fier, on the via ferrata. Am I wrong if I say that the via ferrata routes in Baia de Fier do not have the characteristics of routes for everyone?
Years later, looking back, I do see how routes at Baia de Fier are actually easy compared to routes around the Alps. People speak about Baia de Fier the same way they now speak about Dacia Duster III. People speak. The way routes have been built is the only way you can get the respective difficulty level (the effort you make not to fall). People as everywhere are tourists and don't understand Baia de Fier. This is, sad. Yes, from the perspective you are asking, Baia de Fier is unique. We should be proud of it. Romania is unique with many things. People will say it is a safety risk. Wrong. They are the level of difficulty they say they are and if you fall you are burned the same way you will on any other route. Few people? In my entire carrier around the Alps I met in total maybe 20 people. That lonely I always was while climbing some of the more famous routes of the Alps. Don't worry about people. This time of the year they usually are in city breaks and beaches. Or on tourist trap Via Ferrata just because it looks good on their social media profile. Yes, the Cheile Galbenului gorges are unique in their rock formation and hence the Via Ferrata is different than what you usually get. To me it remains the perfect training cluster (I would've loved it to have more overhangs and longer routes so that I can prepare better for some of the daring routes of the Alps). Remember, everything is a safety hazard one way or another based on a multitude of factors. Hence, always go prepared and ready for the worse. There is a long continuous debate between making everything easy and safe for everyone or keeping it as raw and natural but dangerous. Ideally you get to a middle ground. At Baia de Fier I was told early spring that cables will be replaced with thicker alternatives. If they did it, if they replaced them with cables with larger diameter then they removed the single problem Baia de Fier had, cables too thin that raised concern. I know they did it for some routes because I was there late spring. I will see how it is now once I will return this late autumn when everyone will be gone and me I hope to have the time to do justice to Baia de Fier and record the best presentation material ever.
@@JetSetYourself, Subjectively speaking, I like the routes there! I feel like I'm in a training base, especially since you don't waste time inevitably meeting people who get there just for photos or to waste their time, as you said.
@MonsieurBlue eventually you will have to get out into the world. Baia de Fier is great. If opportunity allows you definitely have to get out into the Alps and try some of the ultimate adventures (not tourist traps)
@@JetSetYourself, I'm still training, thank you!
No thanks
First how many years experience 5 plus definitely trusting them 1 to 4 a little skeptical
I wouldnt trust the people i know!
Well i will take my chances with the stranger cuz i know for sure no one i know can do that đ
I guess if somebody lowers me like that - I didn't really had a choice, right?
If you fall on this, you will snap your back or worse. Personal anchor systems, even dynamic ones, are not designed to absorb fall shocks above factor 1. You can easily get above 3 with this setup. Im not even convinced the rope won't just snap (ropes can handle about 14kN at most). Arguably, continuing with this setup is just giving you a false sense of security and will make a fall more likely than not using anything at all. And it also involves you having to fiddle with the carabiner, making you take of your hands, distract you, take up more time. Etc. This advice, if taken by someone who doesn't understand the forces, will kill people. Your warnings are not sufficient, and you clearly imply that you can fall on it. Before even suggesting something as dangerous as this i would at the verybleast make a study and measure the actual forces involved in this. But from rock climbing, i can tell you that dynamic ropes are absolutely inadequate for this application and will absolutely not "do the job". A backup system isn't much more expensive than your suggestion and if peole cant afford it, instead of giving them advice that will seriously injure or kill them (ignoring that after a fall you're most likely already injured), you should advise them to not put themselves in that situation. Take a froend along. Make sure you only go where you have cell reception. Bring a gps beacon. The correct advice is: Just inform people you trust where you're going and make them call rescue if you don't return / call them within a specific time window, and suddenly "just sitting" is alway an option.
Yes, this is a specialised device that has to be used with care and only by people that are familiar and properly understand the intricacies of such
Truly great video. Thanks so much for the thoughtful advice.
Thank you for the appreciation and time to text about it. Highly positive and helpful!

Thank you! â„ïž Much appreciated.
Great Via Ferrata safety lesson - Thank you! Going on my first Via Ferrata in the Dolomites next year!!
I currently don't climb 7cs since I only recently (half a year ago, thx covid... back up to 6bs in lead, if im translating to the FR scale (i assume that's the one you're using) correctly) restarted rock climbing and am still building up my strength. So I don't think i can help you with that request. (As interesting as it might be^^) I think the intention is good, but I question to some degree how comparable they are in the first place. It's already hard enough to compare 2 climbing routes of the "same grade," especially regionally. For example, the town I live in grades an entire grade lower than a town 60km away (completely ignoring the sheer amount of climbing scales and how they dont really translate into each other). If I go to the mountains, the grades are yet again different. I would imagine via ferrata has the same issue. On top of that, some routes "suit" a particular style. So someone that can usually climb a 7 may struggle on a 6 if the style just doesn't suit theirs. Out of curiosity, are you an experienced rock climber? Cause 7c is very advanced.
We can at any time plan a climb together. To answer your question, I was suggesting a 7c climber possibly because as you say it means advanced climber and we want the opinion of such a climber, right? Of course, hard to get such an advanced climber to even considering doing it, I imagine. Maybe I'm wrong.
