i've seen a lot of VF guides that explicitly say that they alter their grading based on exposure, even when in reality that doesn't really change anything beyond the purely mental struggle.
Will you review the skylotec rider 3.0 via ferrata set? I would love to hear your opinion on it. The design is impressive but with so many moving parts if something goes wrong with the "carabiner" you are only left with 1 normal carabiner.. this is my fear and this is why im putting off buying it atm.. also it is quite expensive
I wanted to buy it at a point but I could not find any availability. I will search more. If I will be able to find a good deal I will purchase and test to then review
i thinks Skylotec had a massive Recall on the rider 3.0... i hope they fix issue i am also interested in buying one! i also hope the bring the carabiner as a single buy option
You can't say that falling is a part of rock climbing in general. While that may be true in the climbing gym or on outdoor sport climbing walls, in alpine climbs you are not supposed to fall. There are fewer protections and they are further apart, and for the easier sections there is often none.
Geiler Hengst Solo is tough on Mental endurance, did it early this year. i think i took a 5-10 minute Break before the last E passage on the Headwall... i knew i was alone on the VF and had no phone reception.. and the last E is rly intimidating if you are right infront of it :D IMO its quite similar in Difficulty and Feeling as the "Nasenwand" VF E-Section
In sport climbing you are using both feet and hands and after level 5 the holds are more technical, in VF everything is easier and the grades are just a personal estimate which you may not agree with, I have seen young, strong people do level D+ first time because of strength without speed or technique

I saw one being used once and was not impressed plus it's slow
