Thanks to you I made such a habit giving a little tug for my carabiners to make sure they are clipped properly that when I finsihed the via ferrata section i put my carabiners on my gear loop and unconciosly checked the carabiners 😅
Hello. Many times they snap and I risk ending up disconnected. As a friend was saying the other day, when you go on a Via Ferrata you know, you are able to manage expectations, know how much water to take, etc. When you go in new routes it all is unforseen and you have to pay maximum attention including checking the carabiners that they properly connected. With regards to the resting system that I use I realised that on extreme routes where I know I might rapidly need to plug it, I leave the shorter lanyard hanging (I don't keep it connected on the gear loop) to the put it in its place once not used only once I'm out of the trouble sections.
i was at a via ferrata seminar and was lucky enough to have one of the best mountain guides in austria as an instructor and he said that it is always better to use every possibility to be able to climb the via ferrata safely and there were all the techniques you showed...and all those who ridicule something like that and don't think it's good are just stupid people who don't know how to use such techniques in an emergency!!!!but what is always important is to be well prepared...read the topo, watch the weather forecast and know what you are doing and where you are! greetings from austria,vienna
