  1. Eines der dramatischsten Wolken-Berg-Bilder der letzten Jahre durfte ich vor gut 2 Jahren am Fuße des Zwölferkogels in den Sextener Dolomiten schießen - ein mehr als würdiger Schnappschuss für den #mountainmonday.

    Die Region ist nicht umsonst total überlaufen, die Berglandschaft war eine der faszinierendsten Kulissen, die ich auf Teilen der großartigen "Dolomiten-Ohne-Grenzen"-Tour jemals erleben durfte.

  2. Cestou domů ještě zastávka na Beisteinmauer, fajn cvičný park #viaferrata #klettersteig několik kratších cest různých (spíš vyšších) obtížností. bergsteigen.com/touren/kletter

  3. Už několikrát jsem tento týden vysvětloval, proč na #viaferrata nechodit jen se smycí a bez prsního úvazku. Tak tady trochu cvičení z fyziky, pádový faktor hudy.cz/co-je-padovy-faktor #klettersteig

  4. On 13 September 2025, the Ferrata Bertona was inaugurated on Monte Bertona, on the Pescara side of the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. This is the least-known of the three faces of the Gran Sasso massif, lower in altitude than the Teramo and L’Aquila sides, but no less striking, with limestone walls, rocky towers, and sweeping views towards the Adriatic.

    The starting point is […]

  5. Expectation: I hiked all winter, now that's ferrate season the first one should be easy, let's go!
    Reality: everything hurts after an easy one.

  6. #FotoVorschlag "Inkompatibel mit dem Digitalen"

    Das Thema ist ja ein sehr weites Feld.
    Ich finde, dass Klettern und Bergwandern mit dem Erlebnis der Aussicht, der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt und der guten Gemeinschaft nicht digital wiedergegeben werden kann - das ist einfach zu komplex.

  7. 2 days ago, I escaped the fog in #Vienna. In the Alps, the sky was bright blue. I climbed the very exposed Haid-Steig #ViaFerrata with 420 m EG. The start is at 1,400 m. Towards the end, it became dangerous in an unsecured passage without any handholds; one slip and I would have been in the valley faster than I would have liked. The most interesting passage led through a long, deep crack. In the first picture, you can see a 15-m ladder leading there.

  8. Ein #throwback Foto zum #mountainmonday aus dem Sommer 2024.

    Zu sehen ist der eindrückliche Glacier de Prapio aus der wunderschön angelegten Via Ferrata "Les Dames Anglaises" fotografiert, während wir auf den Scex Rouge (2971m) aufstiegen.

  9. I’m having lunch in a cave #ViaFerrata (and no, DuoLingo, not now)

  10. Some more pictures from Monday's ridge walk. This is the #viaferrata Maximilan that crosses the Denti di Terrarossa in the #dolomites . More details in the 'alt' text of the images.

  11. The Desire to Cancel an Event

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Pre-broken arm and pre-pandemic I was deeply passionate about via ferrata and I went up every single weekend in summer. Since my broken arm, and since the pandemic I have lost almost all desire to do via ferrata. It's a sport that I loved because I loved finding new places. The issue, and this is something I said before I broke my arm, is that I have done almost all local via ferrata several times each.

    Reservations

    The other issue is that with the growing popularity of the sport you often find yourself trapped, unable to progress as you wait for those ahead of you to make progress. It's convivial, but I no longer feel like driving far to participate in this sport.

    The other issue is that I didn't train in a gym, or do much upper body strength work so I think that this decline in upper body strength encourages me to feel more fear than I used to.

    When I planned to do the Moléson Illuminé I hadn't rediscovered my passion for cycling. I really love cycling. I love that I don't need the car or trains. I love that it's practically free, especially if I stop buying accessories. It's also about community. I like the cycling community.

    Driving Investment

    It takes 50 minutes for me to cycle to Geneva, and six minutes to cycle into Nyon for a group ride. In contrast it takes one to two hours for every via ferrata. At the end of the day you spend more time driving than you do practicing the sport you went to do.#

    Waiting the Entire Day

    One issue, in this context is that you spend your day waiting until evening to do something so you waste your day. When I did it last year the VF took three hours because of how slow those ahead were. If you start early, you benefit from having no one in front, but if you start late then you're blocked. You end at one or two in the morning and then you have the drive home.

    And Finally

    I don't need to make up my mind now. I can easily decide the day before. I can see what other opportunities present themselves, as well as what the weather is doing. For some reason I felt some urgency to make up my mind when there is none.

  12. Went on a via ferrata today with a good friend and his 10 year old son. For the little one, it was his first, so we chose a cat. B one. There were maybe 2 or 3 difficult parts for him, mainly because of his height (or lack thereof). He did well! I guess this will not be his last.

    The via ferrata was following a big waterfall from bottom to top. The sound of the waterfall was accompanying us all the time. Fittig for a Wednesday.

  13. Emergency Contact Infoormation and Incident Detection

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Recently I joined a cycling group and they require us to provide In Case of Emergency Information so that if we have an accident our phone provides people with names and numbers to call. At first I thought "Why would I want this, I have no In Case of Emergency person" due to being single and living alone.

    Now I believe that this is a useful idea. Nothing bad has happened that affected my point of view. It's that it's easy on iOS and Android devices to add three or four people to contact in case of emergency. It's not that you have to give up this information.

    The concept is that if you're rendered unconscious or incoherent after an accident, or incident, people can look at your phone and find emergency contact information and contact the right people. You can say whether they are siblings, parents, colleagues and more, which can be useful.

    As a follow up to this step I have added emergency contacts to be notified automatically by Garmin in case of an emergency. I also added myself, so that if a false alarm is triggered I can confirm that it was a false alarm.

    Incident detection is especially good when doing something alone. That's when we want people to know where we had our incident. It is not unusual to hear about people on solo activities going missing. At least with certain devices that detect incidents people are aware and can send help.

    The two devices that have this are the Apple Watch and the Garmin Instinct 2 so I need to wear at least one of these devices for an alert to be sent automatically.

  14. Via Ferrata <> Ferrovia 😄

    Lite kul ändå att de gör det på klippan där tåget går i en tunnel.

    Tunnelmynningar med kreneleringar som en borg är väldigt romanticistiskt

    Det här området kallas ”Böhmiska Schweiz”, norr om gränsen i Tyskland finns ”Sachsiska Schweiz” med de kända sandstensformationerna vid Basteibrücke.

  15. Když jde o život, jako při horolezení, je #ux kriticky důležité. Třeba prsní úvazek Rock Empire Eight Vario důrazně nedoporučuji! Dvakrát jsem opravoval špatné uvázání (za gumičky). Srovnej se Singing Rock Aladin #climbing #viaferrata #klettersteig

  16. Nahoře sněžilo. Letos jsme s sebou vzali 2x20 metrů lana a hned využili při záchraně jiné skupinky. Dnes tedy za dobré skutky splněno. Příště ještě přibalit nějaké vklíněnce a další matroš na zbudování štandu. #klettersteig #viaferrata
