I was the one belaying her with the tense rope (I was sitting some 10 meters above at a improvised lay station). This was not a training exercise but real life activity. I invited a group of close friends and we spent two days climbing Via Ferrata. The Via Ferrata in this video is a Level D and the segment you can see is almost a Level E. Without me belaying her the risk of a fall was ten fold. I would've never allowed her to do it without. The idea behind was for her to attempt stepping outside her capacity boundaries and try the next difficulty level in the safest settings possible. I don't recall who was recording. I gave a camera to almost everyone. I was able to document different ways of climbing the section (something like Survivor and its psychoanalysis). The girl in this video was the bravest. The other two girls in the grup were older and with more experience. Everyone got up safely (but that day I had to show and tell and then belay for hours and hours). Overall, an interesting experience. I would've love to repeat.
@@JetSetYourself A few weeks ago I got into this sport for the first time and did two via Ferratas in Romania (Astragalus and Wild Ferenc). While I was very close to the suspended bridge of Wild Ferenc it started to drizzle and that segment became slippery and very difficult for me. How would you compare this to that segment of wild ferenc? And are you Romanian? By the way, I just discovered your videos a few days ago and they are very informative and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind appreciation. Yes, I'm Romanian. If you would've asked me I would've told you the same about Wild Ferenc. Right before the bridge, that section there has some sort of rotation that throws you of course and makes it difficult to re-enter. One might make some sort of effort to exit from the bridge. The rest, is all about proper fear of heights management and a bit of control required to make it on the vertical. By comparison, Amfiteatrul Zmeilor is a hard level D (Wild Ferenc is an easy level C). The section from this video is the easiest to lose control and fall. If you rock climb it you expose yourself to repetitive fals (you don't want this) and if you pull against the safety steel cable you will burn your arms and stress your palm and fingers a lot. Will be a pain. If you have enough force in your arms you will eventually make it but not without some bruises. After this section follows another one as delicate (hard to control). If you chose to go on it, brace yourself because you will need a lot of force. If you are athletic and learn fast, will most probably be relatively easy. If not, you are in for a treat. Remember, this zig-zag will push you on your back a lot and at the end of it might be difficult to jump above on that short vertical right before the horizontal that will take you to the cave.
@JetSetYourself oh wow. That last section of wild ferenc seemed very hard for me. I am sure I am not ready for Amfiteatrul Zmeilor. I need to train more.
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 👍
Si, purtroppo tanti iniziano così per dopo mai cambiare oppure migliorare. Doing it this way and only relying on the safe steel cable deprives them if the opportunity to experience the route differently.
Multi profesori, un singur elev... Ma bucur ca in asemenea conditii, nu s-a speriat! O felicit pentru curajul ei!
Was she saved by someone or was it a training exercise? Because i can see a tensed rope attached to the belay of the via ferrata set.

Or, you can come with me and I will belay you just in case.

Where is this Via Ferrata?
Romania, Baia de Fier
Mulțumesc!
Cu drag!
What's the name of ferrata?
Amfiteatrul Zmeilor at Baia de Fier in Romania (21 acrobatica Via Ferrata in total)
In italy we call that manouver "mungere il cavo" literally "to milk the cable". It's a shamy way to do the route

When your hands are rosted,it does not matter how you do it,just do it and do not fall
Nothing happened and she has an extra top rope.
I can only take you for your word
Difficult via ferrata😂😂 that spot on video is (D) and thats in the midle on the difficulty scala...
Yes, D in between A and B and then E (recently some F variants have been built here and there)
💪💪💪
