2 days ago, I escaped the fog in #Vienna. In the Alps, the sky was bright blue. I climbed the very exposed Haid-Steig #ViaFerrata with 420 m EG. The start is at 1,400 m. Towards the end, it became dangerous in an unsecured passage without any handholds; one slip and I would have been in the valley faster than I would have liked. The most interesting passage led through a long, deep crack. In the first picture, you can see a 15-m ladder leading there.

#presentación Hola a todos, soy Lito o Carlitos (para algunos el Lobito 🐺) 😂 Soy músico y trabajo en el conservatorio. Pero soy un culo inquieto: #senderismo #montaña #barranquismo #viaferrata #espeleologia #naturaleza es mi oxígeno y #viajar mi pasión. Me gusta la #cultura pero aún más la vida y la diversidad. Me puedes ver en un museo o en una selva quitándome sanguijuelas. Busco gente con la que hacer #aventuras, senderismo, montaña... pero también cultura, ruinas o ciudades nuevas. Y por qué no, una partida a unos #juegosdemesa, si llueve o diluvia 😂

Vivo en Sevilla pero soy de Madrid. Cojo aviones a dónde sea o coches compartidos, trenes, barcos, bicis...😂👍🏻

An afternoon of adventure high above the ground! Tajo de las Viñas, #ViaFerrata at Lentegi yesterday

#adventure #spain #climbing

I’m having lunch in a cave #ViaFerrata (and no, DuoLingo, not now)

Some more pictures from Monday's ridge walk. This is the #viaferrata Maximilan that crosses the Denti di Terrarossa in the #dolomites . More details in the 'alt' text of the images.
#hiking

Back in the UK after an amazing time in the Swiss Alps.

It's been 5 days since my Via Ferrata accident on Rotstock and I can confidently say that two of my ribs are broken (this is broken ribs set number 4), but I made it off the mountain and ribs will heal.

My wife being quite firm on wanting me to go up with an experienced guide likely saved me from a much more serious injury or worse. I'm coming home somewhat humbled, but more determined to learn the skills necessary to move in that kind of terrain (with a guide) more safely and continue improving my fitness (once I'm healed).

The Desire to Cancel an Event

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pre-broken arm and pre-pandemic I was deeply passionate about via ferrata and I went up every single weekend in summer. Since my broken arm, and since the pandemic I have lost almost all desire to do via ferrata. It's a sport that I loved because I loved finding new places. The issue, and this is something I said before I broke my arm, is that I have done almost all local via ferrata several times each.

Reservations

The other issue is that with the growing popularity of the sport you often find yourself trapped, unable to progress as you wait for those ahead of you to make progress. It's convivial, but I no longer feel like driving far to participate in this sport.

The other issue is that I didn't train in a gym, or do much upper body strength work so I think that this decline in upper body strength encourages me to feel more fear than I used to.

When I planned to do the Moléson Illuminé I hadn't rediscovered my passion for cycling. I really love cycling. I love that I don't need the car or trains. I love that it's practically free, especially if I stop buying accessories. It's also about community. I like the cycling community.

Driving Investment

It takes 50 minutes for me to cycle to Geneva, and six minutes to cycle into Nyon for a group ride. In contrast it takes one to two hours for every via ferrata. At the end of the day you spend more time driving than you do practicing the sport you went to do.#

Waiting the Entire Day

One issue, in this context is that you spend your day waiting until evening to do something so you waste your day. When I did it last year the VF took three hours because of how slow those ahead were. If you start early, you benefit from having no one in front, but if you start late then you're blocked. You end at one or two in the morning and then you have the drive home.

And Finally

I don't need to make up my mind now. I can easily decide the day before. I can see what other opportunities present themselves, as well as what the weather is doing. For some reason I felt some urgency to make up my mind when there is none.

Went on a via ferrata today with a good friend and his 10 year old son. For the little one, it was his first, so we chose a cat. B one. There were maybe 2 or 3 difficult parts for him, mainly because of his height (or lack thereof). He did well! I guess this will not be his last.

The via ferrata was following a big waterfall from bottom to top. The sound of the waterfall was accompanying us all the time. Fittig for a Wednesday.

Emergency Contact Infoormation and Incident Detection

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Recently I joined a cycling group and they require us to provide In Case of Emergency Information so that if we have an accident our phone provides people with names and numbers to call. At first I thought "Why would I want this, I have no In Case of Emergency person" due to being single and living alone.

Now I believe that this is a useful idea. Nothing bad has happened that affected my point of view. It's that it's easy on iOS and Android devices to add three or four people to contact in case of emergency. It's not that you have to give up this information.

The concept is that if you're rendered unconscious or incoherent after an accident, or incident, people can look at your phone and find emergency contact information and contact the right people. You can say whether they are siblings, parents, colleagues and more, which can be useful.

As a follow up to this step I have added emergency contacts to be notified automatically by Garmin in case of an emergency. I also added myself, so that if a false alarm is triggered I can confirm that it was a false alarm.

Incident detection is especially good when doing something alone. That's when we want people to know where we had our incident. It is not unusual to hear about people on solo activities going missing. At least with certain devices that detect incidents people are aware and can send help.

The two devices that have this are the Apple Watch and the Garmin Instinct 2 so I need to wear at least one of these devices for an alert to be sent automatically.
