Climbing Tofana di Mezzo by Ferrata Lamon
mountainsforeverybody.com/climbing-tofana-di-mezzo-by-ferrata-lamon
Assuming that you do not plan using the lift, you can get to Tofana di Mezzo summit from at least three sides by climbing one of its ferratas.
Ferrata Lamon is the easiest but it implies getting to the summit of Tofana di Dentro first. This makes it a very long and demanding tour. You are above 3000 meters of elevation all the time. However, you will have two summits on a single day, plus an incredible WWI bivouac will be on your way up.
Equipment used:

What Is Paralpinism?
Просмотров 1421 день назад
Did you know that majority of mountaineering accidents happen during the descent? One way to cut out this risk would be to paraglide. But is it safe? So this is about paralpinism. In short, this is an activity that combines classic alpinism or mountaineering, and paragliding. In other words, you climb a mountain in the usual way, but instead of a classic descend, you paraglide from the summit. ...

What Is Osprey Atmos & Aura AG LT Backpacks Series
Thanks man, awesome work was done here!
And if you fall?
Hi, this is a ferrata and you can attach yourself at dangerous passages. But you can definitely fall, so I cannot give any wise answer, I guess nobody can. If you go to such places, do your best and hope for the best.
Great views again 🙂. Nice hike, thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Though I would not describe the tour as a hike. Crampons, ice axe, and all ferrata equipment was used.
Thanks for your videos about this tent. It caught my eye immediately as most Snow Peak products tend to and your video made me place my order! I got the mat+ground tarp combo with it, I'm not sure the mat is necessary or worth the high price tag but I figured since I'm going to use a camp cot the extra floor strength can't hurt
Hi, if you have the mat I am sure you will love to use it. It is cold in the evening and it will make your stay in tent more pleasant. For cot too, it is very good to have an extra layer. I did not use cot but a chair and I was always worried about the floor. You have a great tent.
Which is more comfort to mountain expedition?
The word comfort may have different meaning for different people. Please follow the link below the video to read my full text in the site.
@mountainsforeverybody Comfortable for my shoulders and back. because I use a backpack made locally in my country but it is not comfortable at back system and shoulder pad.
@@elzhabi4922 For shoulders, I do not think you will have any difference. For back, Futura backpacks are ventilated, so you should experience less sweating, or better to say better air circulation. But lumbar area is very different, there is no way to know which will work better for you until you try it under a full load. I warmly advise that you read the text in my site for more details.
Great views over there! 🤩
I would say the best in the Dolomites.
Differences between the two: 3:08
Well, this might be good info in theory on where to walk and not but it might not be very useful in the field when you're actually standing on a glacier, rarely do you have live drone video with a view from above..
I do not use drones. In fact it is not a theory, this is how I deal with this, details are given in the post (the link below the video). It is correct what you are saying for the situation when you are on the glacier, but even then you can navigate it if you apply some tips mentioned in the text. I go solo and I use them, and I am still around, hopefully this will remain so.
Really good overview - ty!
Nice views! 🤩
Indeed.
Nice hike! Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you.
Nice hike! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the kind words.
i want to buy this one, going to watch your video, thanks for sharing!
No problem, great to hear from you.
Nice video, thanks for sharing! 😀
Thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for sharing this info!
It is great that you find it useful. Thanks.
Thank you for this great video. i am going for the Stratos 😃
Thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for this review and the other one you did on this tent. It really helped give me the right amount of information I wanted before purchasing this tent. I'm very happy with it!
So you have it now, I am sure it will work great for you. Wish you all the best.
Thank you so much for this review! It was very helpful and interesting
Great to hear that. Many thanks for the kind words.
Hi, do you think this bag would be a good bag for travelling for six months. Because I'm about to buy one for travelling, as I'm fed up with suitcases, and I'd like to have something small but puncture-proof.
I would always go for a backpack rather than for a suitcase, you have free hands, easier to move around. But this is not puncture proof, no pack is, there are many small suitcases that are made of a hard material and better from that perspective. Though a punctured suitcase looks ugly, this is not so with a pack. I have them with punctures, but this is typically a ripstop material so I can use it forever, no matter a puncture.
@@mountainsforeverybody Thank you very much for your reply. Do you think this bag will do with 32L for a long trip of several months? To be honest, I'm hesitating between the ditch rider 32L and the Osprey farpoint 40L.
@@zorin597 If you mean this will be your only luggage then this sounds impossible. The same holds for the mentioned Osprey pack. But I do not know what kind of trip this is, so I may be wrong.
@@mountainsforeverybody It would essentially be a minimalist but long trip. I'll be taking with me a few T-shirts, a few pairs of underwear, a few pairs of hiking trousers, some hygiene products and wash bag to wash my clothes. I won't be taking a tent or sleeping bag with me, and I'll be staying in hotels. In any case, thank you very much for your answers, your time and the respect you show me. I've just discovered your channel and I'm not disappointed.
Should i buy the 40L version or the 30L one?
This will depend on what you plan to do with it. For light day tours choose the smaller pack. But the larger version is more versatile and you can do more with it. This summer I used my 40-liters pack for many day-tours, and it worked great for me.
I have a camp plus pad already and was unsure whether the comfort plus would be a better pad. I'm glad I saw your review before I went and bought the comfort plus.
Great to hear from you. Thank you.
If you collect water with a poncho or your tent fly then what are the risks of contamination from the chemical DWR coatings and waterproof treatments on those?
You have to drink water, this is the bottom line. This is about emergency situations and you will not die from such a stuff. But no doubt risk is always there. It is just the matter where you have it less. You get this stuff through your hands as well when you deal with your poncho or tent and miss to wash hands. Just imagine kids in a camp with you playing on the floor of the tent full of chemical. You cannot avoid this. There are also fire retardants chemicals that are particularly bad, you can see more about this in my another site. familycamptents.com/what-is-a-fire-retardant-tent/
what a brave man !!
Idk, in my opinion this pillow 'too high', tried to sleep on in, when fully inflated then its too hard, when deflated a bit then too wobbly. Woken up too many times...
I guess this will depend on what type of sleeper you are. I myself do not inflate it too much.
Thank you very much for this interesting review. It seems to be a perfect tent for me. I love the two mesh doors and the large vestibule. I would like also to sleep with an open vestibule in order to look outside.
I keep the vestibule open whenever possible. Have been with the tent recently in the Dolomites, very happy with it.
Can we use normal stove ?
Hi, the lower container is a massive steel, no doubt you can use it with any stove. The induction feature is just an extra benefit.
Thank you, Having the backpack close to the body really decreases the weight felt. I will buy this.
It was hard for me to accept that fact because I absolutely love ventilated design in Futura backs from Deuter and from some other brands. But it is indeed better to have the pack closer to the body. And sweating is inevitable in any case.
Thanks for the video, great review as I've been looking for a comfy pillow, buying this tomorrow 👍
You will have a great outdoor item.
Just got one at Ollie's for $50
Great purchase no doubt.
@@mountainsforeverybody I used it once this year. 37F and raining. Felt like I was sleeping on a warm cloud.
Thanks for the review... I'm kind of not sure, but I think I'll go for the Aircontact Core... I am tempted by the suspension system of the Futura, but being a big dude travelling with a small girl, I may end up carrying a lot of weight so...
I would do the same, I love ventilated Futura design, have been using it for more than two decades, but Aircontact will work better for a heavy load.
Almost every single boot isn't waterproof, cheap or expensive, they're water resistant at best. believing something is 'waterproof' is naive.
Very true. I made mistake by concluding initially that these were waterproof. In fact, they were sucking water in slowly and I could not feel it in my initial testing even after keeping them in water for several minutes.
You've convinced me to get this tent, quality review!
Thank you. I was just presenting the facts about this tent, which is the second I have from the same brand. There is addition, did not have time to write about it in the site, I used it in the mountains recently, and I was not disappointed.
This tent is for camping with a car. Building up the tent is easy and straight forward. The tent has enough air circulation because the zipper of the doors of the inner tent can open from top and bottom. The horizontal zipper of the door is a seperate zipper then the other zipper of the door of the inner tent. So each door has two zippers. The top half of the inner tent is almost completely mesh. so if you open both doors of the outher tent there will be enough air flow trough the tent. This tent will be suited for a warmer climate. If you camp on higher altitude and more rain or moist expected I recommed the MSR Habitude 4. I inspected both tents and both tents are great for the space and suited for camping with a car. The MSR has also strong points (lighter, msr quality, bigger hight) but I choose this Big Agnes Spicer 4.
Your comment is appreciated, many thanks.
Hello,, please, how many teaspoons (grams) of coffee do you use for the 3 cup pot, and how many mililitres of coffee do you get? Thanks in advance.
Hi, I fill the coffee container which is inside of the pot, it is above the water reservoir, so I never measure. Normally I fill the water reservoir till the valve which is on the side, and this then determines the maximum amount of coffee you can have. I have never checked the weight or volume in mililiters, and I use it every day twice. If the coffee is too strong, you can add water into it later when it is in the cup, or milk, this is all up to you. I do not use any milk or sugar, just a black coffee. Otherwise, you can put less amount of coffee powder in the container. Just experiment and you will find out what the best amount is for you.
Woven is better. Thank you
I agree.
What is the name of the pillow you use? :)
Thank you for asking, this is my Forclaz pillow. Here you can see all about it: mountainsforeverybody.com/forclaz-mt500-inflatable-backpacking-travel-pillow-review
I've been undecided between this Camp Plus SI vs the Comfort plus SI. Do you happen to know the difference on both? Price are double on the comfort plus but not sure what the advantage is, they both look the same to my eye
Hi, the main difference is the fabric, you have 30D stretch knit polyester on the upper of the Comfort Plus pad combined with 30D woven polyester on the bottom. But in the Camp Plus it is a 70D woven polyester everywhere. This would mean that the former may feel softer and more pleasant, but I would say that it is also far less durable. The Comfort Plus is a bit heavier as well due to the fabric difference. The R value is 4.1 in the former as compared to 4.3 in the Camp Plus, but this is not so important.
@mountainsforeverybody Thanks for the response! I ended up buying it using your link.
@@povoljan13 Many thanks.
Well done job, I did read your relation on your website since I was looking for information to climb up Tofana di dentro, when did you climb it? I'm planning to go next week and wandering if I have to bring crampons. Thanks
It was on July 22nd and it was essential to have crampons on two places below the summit. I am pretty sure you will not need them any longer.
I just bought this pad I’ve open the valve it’s been about 16 hours and it’s still only about 1 inch thick. I know it said the first time it takes a while but seems like it should be thicker after 16 hours. Did you find the first time you inflated this it took a very long time?
Hi, I hope this is the same Plus version pad, because the full thickness is three inches. It make no sense, 16 hours and one inch only. They have the standard version which is 1.5 inch thick, so please check if this is the same pad as mine. But my experience is also not so great in this respect. Initially it would inflate to some point and it was not bad, I would then blow extra air with my mouth. But later, the self-inflation looked far reduced, and this means more air blowing, but this is still fine. I think this all is due to too-big cut-out channels. The foam would be more reactive if it would be more of it inside, but this would make the pad much heavier and bulkier. Not a bad trade-off all in all, I am quite happy with my pad.
@@mountainsforeverybody yeah I thought it would self inflate faster even the first time based on the instructions. I got the regular rectangular, but it’s still supposed to be 3 inches stick. I ended up putting a little air in it with a pump this morning and finished it off super comfortable. I mean not too firm but just really really comfortable. I really like it thanks for the response and I subbed in liked
It all adds up
Yes I know, but the point is that in relative terms the smaller pack's weight is far more increased. It makes sense to think about poncho instead of the usual pack rain cover, as this will protect the hip belt padding as well.
thank you
It was my pleasure, thank you.
Hi, thanks for the video! Just had two questions: Does the inside have a laptop compartment? And does the dimensions of the bag be allowed to take it with me in the plane as hand carry? Thank you
Regarding the first question, this is a quite technical mountaineering and hiking backpack with an inner sleeve made for a water bladder. But it is large and deep and you can definitely place a laptop in it. As for the second question, this will depend on the rules of the flight company, and cannot say much about this.
Don't amenity dome S come with no covering at the bottom?
They sell separately a set with an inner mat and a footprint. If you follow the link to my review in the site you will see them both. This is not compulsory, I was recently in the mountains with this tent and used it as it is, the floor fabric is strong enough.
@@mountainsforeverybodyah okay perfect! That explains a lot. I thought it didn't come with any floor covering and the mat was needed! Can I ask what mat do you use? I need an affordable option!
@@victorbercian6707 The tent has a very durable floor, no worry about that. I do not use any mat inside, but indeed I am normally in the tent without shoes or sleepers and it can be cold from the ground in a camp in the mountains. Nothing from this brand is really affordable, all they sell is quite expensive but of a high quality.
Hello ! Very good video :) ! I bought the lithium 25 backpack from mammut. On the back I wanted to know if the foam becomes more flexible because I find it a little rigid when I have it on my back. Do you think it wiil be softer with time ? Thank you in advance for your answer :) !!
Hi, yes you are right, all the padding on my 40-liters pack is also considerably more hard than in my other backpacks from Deuter and Osprey for example. However, my experience is very good, never had any unpleasant experience related to this issue. I do not think it will become softer, after using the pack on many tours in the period of 5 weeks, I did not feel any difference.
@@mountainsforeverybody Ok thanks for your answer. I will continue to wear it so my body gets used to it. Beautiful day :)
I'm watching it from Japan. I was considering whether to buy this backpack, so your review video was very easy to understand and helpful. Thank you.
I was with this pack in the mountains for 5 weeks recently and used on many of my tours for testing. This is a great product.

This looks like a good price to me. I am in a tent right now and l know how essential a good tent is, l am using my Snow Peak Amenity Dome.
If you dont mind please make another video and more focusing on backpacks.
Hi, sorry for my slow reply, I am in the mountains without the Internet. Not sure what you mean by more focusing on backpacks. I have three of them with me right now. Can you say what should I focus on? I have been using this Mammut Lithium 40 in the past three weeks in real mountain climbing conditions. Tell me more.
thanks, informative
Great to hear this, thank you David.
Is it possible to attach an helmet holder to the lithium?
Hi, the backpack is just next to me in a camping tent, and I also have my helmet with me. I am in the Slovenian mountains, but have not used it yet on any tour with the helmet, it was raining a lot these days. But I am moving to the Dolomites tomorrow and I might test this. I already know that it is possible, if it is really practical is hard to say for the moment, but I shall check this and perhaps add some paragraphs in my post review in the site. Namely, there are two loops through which the straps for lid closure go from below, they have no other purpose, so here you should be able to attach a helmet. You can also use the wide bottom-front loop in combination with the two mentioned loops.
