Ski Club 18 Via Ferrata
Переглядів 5121 годину тому
Last of our Dolomites series has us tackle the notorious Ski Club 18 via ferrata. The ski club ferrata was created in 2009 and is graded a 5B. along the approach you'll see a ski here and there pointing you to the start of the route. My guess would be a nod to the active skiing that happens here in the winter. A fabtastic route that could be rated an 18 out of 10! This route is part of the hard...

The fourth part to our Dolomites series has brought us to La Mesola for the Trincee via ferrata. It is also known as the via delle Trincee. The ferrata can be split into 3 sections, section 1 the crux, section 2 where the WW1 remnants start and section 3 the tunnels. It can be a long day out but it has several escape points if you wish to cut it short. An excellent via ferrata away from the cro...
Escaping The Idwal Staircase
Переглядів 407Місяць тому
Today I have returned at the Idwal staircase to explore if there is an escape route to avoid the staircase continuation. The Idwal staircase is a grade 2 which can be found in between the Idwal slabs and Idwal buttress. The continuation of this route is a grade 2 plus with a few tricky moves so an escape from this would benefit many.... Thanks for watching! Chapters: 01:39 Start of staircase 17...

Atlantic Slab: An Underrated Scramble On Carnedd Y Filiast
Переглядів 529Місяць тому
On today's adventure I'm finally ticking off the Atlantic slab scramble on Carnedd y Filiast. The slab used to be the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and its said fossils can be found here. Also the rippled effect of the slab suggests a slowly retreating tide. The scramble itself its recommended to rope up or to have sufficient experience to solo. Expect to be out for at least 4-6 hrs from car to ...

Thanks for the excellent routes.
@@EarthWatcher736 thanks 😊
Notch Arete is the best one 💪🏻
10 great scrambles on Tryfan! I'm sure i will find another 10...
Milestone gully in the most atrocious weather…thanks for that! I’ve still got the scars on my shin from that one! 😂
@OutandaboutwithSpencer was a good day though 😅
@ certainly was 👍
They're not bad boots, but hurt the tops of my toes. I'm probably yet to find the right sock/boot balance tbh lol
@GogsDavies a good quality sock makes a huge difference 👌
Hi Scrambling Dutchman. I liked your other video on PBA. It had more of a story: story is absolutely critical in film-making. POV footage isn't enough on its own. I think there must always be commentary with it, otherwise hardly anyone will want to watch it. YT is so competitive for people's attention these days. I think PBA right-hand goes up the right of the pyramid. I think you did either South West Buttress or Furey Road both f3c.
Lovely jubbly 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer definitely mate 👌
Spectacular. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures.
@@eplane thanks for watching 👍
Nice
Just watched this again, an absolutely awesome day. 👍
@OutandaboutwithSpencer same mate, one of my most favourites of our joint adventures mate 👍
@ mine too 👍
‼️ Just discovered this channel‼️ Guys you realise How scary high you are. Stupid question obviously but never seen people climbing like this. 🙏🍩 Love from Scotland 🍩🙏
@Captain-Donut thanks, absolutely love doing the high stuff! Hard work however very rewarding. Welcome to my channel, done a few bits in Scotland but not much yet...
Some cracking views there mate 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer absolutely mate 👌
Thanks
Thanks ❤
A fantastic bonus route with a great sense of exposure
A fantastic via ferrata away from the crowds
Absolutely drop dead stunning views. And that Via Ferrata looks in good condition and well maintained, some don't. Some serious exposure there too!!
@The_Reality_Filter yeah it was a fantastic one mate 👍
Nice one 👍
@OutandaboutwithSpencer the route I'll take you on next year mate 👍
I did very similar route this morning but I crossed over the waterfall half way up the staircase and went left which was a bad mistake managed to traverse back to the right higher up DO NOT wander left while climbing the staircase hellish grassy ledges await you there ! North west face looks appealing I also noticed the quartz band running across it when you top out of the staircase I continued up left just as you did towards cneifion arete conditions were so wet this morning 🤦🏽♂️
@naveedarshad5608 going too far left you're venturing on rock climbing territory, plenty of people been cragfast there. The north West face route is a great little scramble indeed
Can you escape from the idwal staircase to avoid the continuation? Today we're about to find out!
Torre Lusy ist neben dem Torre Grande (via Guide) unsere Lieblingsroute an den Cinque Torri. 😊 Die 4. Seillänge ist auch nach mehrmaligem Klettern immer wiede spannend. Danke für die Erinnerung …
@@kletternundco ich freue mich, dass es dir gefallen hat. Es ist eine tolle Route
Awesome video 👏 I did Tryfan via north ridge yesterday and already done Crib Goch, loved them both. Planning my next scramble so this video is very helpful 👍
@@swin1306 great stuff glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@clogsonthemountain yes I did, have you done Jack's Rake in the Lake District by any chance? Been looking at that one it looks good
@swin1306 had an attempt two years ago but unfortunately it was too wet and someone lost their life two weeks before in similar conditions so I decided to back down at the tarn. It is on my list to do though 👍
@@clogsonthemountain Ah right ok, hopefully we both get to complete it soon then 👍 It's rubbish when you can't do what you set out for, but safety has to come 1st. I was supposed to be carrying on from Tryfan up to Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr but it got so windy and wasn't safe at all so I had to cut my route short unfortunately 😕
@swin1306 safety always comes first, it will be there for another day 👍
Why are mountains always uphill 😜 darn things!
@@sarahslife6781 that is until you go down 😂
Dolmen ridge is spicier than crib goch. It’s a good ridge for people who are new to scrambling tho 😜
@666steff666 Dolmen ridge is fantastic 👍 a grade 3 though 👌
@@clogsonthemountain Dolmen is my favourite so far. me and a friend soloed a few months back. Slowly tasking my way through the scrambles in north wales. We’ve done most of the grade 1s skipped grade 2 and went straight to grade 3 😂 Atlantic ridge is next on the list
@666steff666 got a video on that one, it's good but a grade 2+ imo. Look at doing pinnacle scramble, nor nor buttress variant and cyfrwy arete, they are ace 👍
Nice one mate, and glad to see you being sensible. Definitely bail when you’re not comfortable. Nice abseil. 👍
@OutandaboutwithSpencer thanks mate, right thing to do 👍
Every video of yours that I watch convinces me never to go beyond Grade 1 😉
@pcb1962 I've always said not to go beyond a grade 1. Never rush into it, do it when you feel ready. If not, no worries. Plenty of cracking grade 1 scrambles about 👍
Nice one clogs, and I must say your technique and grade have gone up markedly since I started watching earlier on this year. Keep it up!
@garrygreen3210 thanks, hard work pays off 💪
Finally a La Sportiva climbing shoes that fits my feet well. An absolute winner!
Oh wow, cool mate 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer best abseil so far 👌
Wow ❤
The full abseil off Torre Lusy, after completing via Lusy Pompanin-IV. A 50m free hanging abseil, absolutely loved this ❤️
Really useful video , thank you, I'm doing Seniors and Moel Siabod this weekend if it's not too wet. I'm fairly certain I will never do Crib Goch, I can't even watch it on video.
@pcb1962 moel siabod can be done in wet, make sure you scale high around the 2nd lake to avoid the bog, enjoy 👍
I'm going to stick at grade 1, thank you 😁
@pcb1962 I've always said that, now lead VS rock climb 🙃 But never venture on terrain you're not comfortable with
Wow, great stuff
@@wolfmoon2010 thanks 😊
Probably just what I’m used to, but I prefer the YDS Class system. I’m sure you can add plus and minus to Grades and have the same type of equivalency, but I just feel like Class 3 is so distinct from Class 4 (i.e. there’s nothing in between like a “Grade2”); and then you can add plus or minus on each to give a great actual feel to the rock difficulty.
@matthewculpepper5261 we add a plus or minus too to every grade suggesting more exposure and difficulty. Even when a grade 3 has sections of technical rock climbing in it, it will become a grade 3S
Anderson Edward Moore Larry Rodriguez Karen
Someone told me it isn't as difficult as it looks, and tryfan Bach is much better
difficulty varies on your experience, if you're used to smears and finger cracks yes it's straight forward ozone man's snowdon is another man's kilimanjaro
Did this last month free solo wasn’t as exciting as expected but a still a solid scramble it’s one of them climbs you can make easier or harder for yourself the more left you go from the rib
@naveedarshad5608 felt the same at first as I had bigger expectations however there is some fantastic scrambling on it
The brutal approach is rather off-putting
@@p6z-f5t definitely gets your blood pumping! Steep it sure is
A bit breezy at the top mate! 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer sure was mate 👍
A fantastic scramble with a lot of questions around it's grade. Keen to see everyone's opinion on it. For me a high end grade 2+ Not Rhyolite but Gritsone!
nice 😜
It's not Rhyolite, my friend, it's a type of gritstone. Many years have past since I last solo'd this route. If you haven't done it yet, try 'Left Edge' at Vdiff, it's a real gem. Really enjoying your channel :)
you're right I've just looked it up... it's gritstone indeed, acts very similar to rhyolite though. Fantastic friction! Am planning to return to do more routes here for sure! Thanks 👍
I was scrambling for ten years before I knew about the grading system, and I still don't bother about it now. I flew up An Stac and the Inn Pin solo like a mountain goat.... Grade 3. Aonach Eagach, with it's tricky down climbs was a bit nervy I can tell you.... Grade 2. It's all relative to the individual, and when you start grading things, it puts people off who would easily do it, and lures people in who are way out of their depth. Crib Goch is a perfect example of this. It's a grade 1, but the exposure across the ridge is phenomenal. To be honest, anyone who thinks about falling off shouldn't be doing it, if you use ropes or not. Most people don't use a mode of transport, and think about crashing.
@@66oggy yes agree, definitely some scrambles are undergraded
how TX5s compare to TX4s in terms of hiking comfort and are they much heavier? and i don't mean full day/multiple days hiking, but i mean hiking to the crag from the car before scrambling. are additional weight and stiffness any disadvantage in hiking or are they so big advantage in scrambling that you can sacrifice hiking comfort?
They are around the same weight. I find them much comfier than my tx4. The tx5 offer great stiffness for the scramble yet remain comfy on walk in or long approaches.
@@clogsonthemountain thanks for quick response! so i think i will also try out tx5 and also tx4 evo :) maybe you know something about tx4 evo?
got the tx4 myself so can't comment on the evo. The tx guide get great reviews too
