Via ferratas are vertical playgrounds. They are best known in the Dolomites, but there are nearly 2,000 of them throughout the Alps. We cover some of the basics of via ferrata safety, including via ferrata gear. We absolutely recommend a UIAA-rated via ferrata set. This video is best for those with experience in and a basic knowledge of rock climbing systems. We encourage adventurers without rock climbing experience to seek out a course or a guide for their first via ferrata tour.

What a cool intro to the possibilities of vertical hiking! Thank you for creating this video.
Cool so this is hiking with aid!
So interesting
Yes exactly! I like to consider it rock climbing for hikers, or hiking for rock climbers.
Love the video! I noticed I have the same gloves. I lived in Fulpmes for 9 months. Are you from Stubaital?
Hi Edan, Fulpmes is beautiful! I actually bought the gloves in Munich.

Do you need the resting carabiner? Looked the guy you checked didn’t have one
The resting sling and carabiner are optional. But I never do a via ferrata without one. The guy in the video does have a rest sling, and it's visible in several video clips. It's the red reinforced daisy chain.
Thanks for the info. I do have three questions.
1. Why do the carabiners have to be opposed? There is a video on UA-cam that says that the carabiners should not be opposed: ua-cam.com/video/jvsJtZLRsyY/v-deo.html
2. What do you mean with "The second carbiner should not be attached to any fixed point that will cancel the energy absorption of the fall"? Can you give an example of where this happens?
3. What is a static sling?
1) Opposing carabiners is frequently used in rock climbing to make it difficult for both gates to somehow open at the same time. Of course, you'll always be able to find different opinions about pretty much any safety technique in rock climbing. You can quickly find arguments for and against by doing a simple internet search
2) If you attach the second carabiner to your belay loop it will cancel the energy absorption system
3) A static sling, as opposed to a dynamic sling, does not have any stretch in it that is designed to absorb some of the force of a fall. It will fail earlier than a dynamic sling when a fall occurs
