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.
I’m not a professional guide, an expert, or someone born in the mountains doing this daily. I’m 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.
