Please make this comment seen! The ledge you are sitting on is the same ledge where I had my picnic with a friend. We couldn't advance because in front of us was a tourist with no mountain knowledge that tried it alone. The tourist broke his leg in the caves... Another dude pulled him up for hours while my friend and me each took a second bag to help. No helicopter could come, the weather had changed in an instant. If you read this comment be aware that it is NOT a good idea to : - do this alone. - do it for the first time without someone that has done it before. - prefer filming equipment instead of water and food. - sell it as an adventure. For most of the people that live in the area and do the via ferrata often it might be an adventure. But even so, the risk is real. Be careful and take care.
@@sulrana1812 No dude, they are endangering others as well. The Rescue teams and other people on the route. It's not always about the person in question themselves.
As a climber who is had a few epics myself. I find is mildly amusing how tourists think the mountains are just a theme park that doesn't require any physical fitness. We have a problem with tourists in Canada getting stuck on Castle mountain from fallowing routes on the All trails app not realizing it is alot of route finding in 3rd class terrain and the weather near the peak changes rappidly
We have similar problems with naive lone tourists in Tasmania getting lost in the vast thick scub (with no locator beacons in their backpacks). People also go swimming alone on unpatrolled beaches, and get drowned by strong rip-currents that drag them out into rough surf. Fishing alone on slippery rocks with steep falls into the ocean is also an increasingly common way to drown. Having a "buddy" with you is giving yourself a fighting chance to get rescued. I got washed off the flat rocks fishing at Quabba Station at the remote Western Australian coastline and was stopped from falling down into the ocean by my buddy (thank you Alister, you saved my life).
Some people have been asking how I got down. There's a sort of trail on the other side of the mountain that takes you all the way back to the campsite. It took me 4 hours to get down, and I arrived at the van by 1 AM. But to be honest, that was the easiest part. Please do NOT attempt this route if you don’t have experience-it is extremely dangerous.
As a mountain guide for 12 years: Make it more clear for folks to only do this with plenty experience an NEVER ALONE. Your are on the edge of risking your life if something goes bad !!!!
@@aspoonfullofadventure3049 If you have some respect towards yourself and towards what you could give rise to, you are more likely to warn people not to do this alone. Let people do what they want (for instance I also did this via alone), but you could agree that it is better to just "warn" people not to do it alone. For the 0.001% unexperienced people that would go there and be exposed to danger. Maybe it could save them, maybe it won't. But there is more chance that it will help that it won't right ? So why not just warn them to not go there alone ? It's just a mention of smth, why do you go "uhr he's telling it's sketchy so it's enough for unexperienced people to not go there" but man people are dumb, so where's the harm in taking 3s to warn people ??? Why'd you get upset about it End of transmission, have a good day
The amount of strength (both mentally and physically) that doing this takes (and the fact that you could summon it!) is absolutely insane. Kudos to you Bernardo! Thank you for documenting this for us!
Wow you were very close to a newspaper title "Unexperienced RUclips creator died while overestimating himself" Your mental strength is a freakin bear. This saved you!
Had never seen you before. I loved your attitude and honesty in this video. Succinctly put "some risks are just not worth taking." Thanks for uploading this!
at 9:17 when you are describing the climb, i feel there comes a moment when when you transition from talking to the camera to you talking to yourself. and the way it was said captures the essence of what is at the stake.
Dude there is absolutely no flipping way i would ever attempt such a thing, my hats off to you brave sir. And to think you were filming this solo hike solo too, absolutely incredible work mate.
Kudos to author and even more kudos to people who first climbed that rout and then laid the cables and ladders down. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience.
Hats off to the quality of content you put there. I really wait for every video you put out there. This guy should be given a big cookie for his honesty and no drama in his work.
I've done this route and every time I watch a video of people doing this they always forget to mention that there is a way down after the second stage. Also, you need a lot of water because a large part is in full sun ! although it gets the highest grade you are protected you only need to keep your emotions in check 😁You did a great job (that last bit gets people every time, I started late just to do the last past in the dark, getting to the summit at night is a sight you'll never forget)
I soled this a couple of years back. It’s not just the longest, it was at that time, Switzerland’s most extreme with long sections of VF 6 (serious exposure & overhanging with no escape), long sections with multiple ladders & one section inside the mountain .
If you are interested in via ferratas, there are difficulty and endurance ratings. The Daubenhorn Via Ferrata is the most difficult level in Switzerland (K6) start with an easy one like K2 or K3 and work your way up. Having experience in rock climbing and mountaineering to me it was great fun, I loved the big cage and actually at the top where you unclipped there is an extra part which is the scariest of them all but super nice if you like the adrenaline kick. Also always start early, you were probably by yourself because everybody else was long gone. But kudos for pushing though 👌🏼
you should honestly be proud of your accomplishment here dude. I could feel how scared you understandably were here... I would have felt exactly the same, if not more scared. You made it dude.
My favorite one on youtube..you cannot imagine how impressed i am by your shooting EVEN IN THIS KIND OF A SITUATION incredible spirit incredible you incredible results and an incredibly big thank you for existing and showing on my feed
Thank you for making it and thank you for capturing the experience. You're on the list of my TOP1 creators! Still trying to process what you did - INSANE !!!!
Oh my goodness Bernard, this is crazy crazy crazy!!!!! We love you too much for you to be taking risks like this! I felt sick watching this! Incredibly brave of you but just stick with the bike and van now!! 😂 🤘🏻
Bernardo, u said that this is probably the craziest thing that u have ever done in your life. This is the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. Great Video 👍🏼
Bernardo, I know that u had to go deep inside of yourself to finish this. Because I had to go deep inside myself to watch u do this. Congratulations 👏🏼
> 100% do the cable car or better yet: stay at the hotel at the top of the lift. You want to start this at sunrise or within 30m-1h (8-9am latest) from lift open as completing this takes 8h-10h. Even if you're an expert there's some bottle necks and you might have to wait long times to cross certain sections. If you have a stay at the hotel you obviously don't have to down climb (2h) in case you miss the last lift which closes quite early 4-5pm. This by no means can be compared to the Muren or Almenalp feratta, this Feratta is the real deal. Bring 4-5kcals in snacks minimum and 3L of water to summit before sunset. Enjoy the spa in Leukerbad the next day ;)
One question, I rock climb but have never done Via Ferrata, is there anything to catch a fall, or would you just slide down to the next anchor? I mean a lot was a traverse but with the more vertical elements I think I would much rather just trad climb, atleast I know I wont fall far.
Great on you clearly stepping out of your comfort zone and pushing through the terror in the moment. I remember how terrified I was on my first multi-pitch climb but pushing through and being able to complete it was very rewarding and I still remember it well.
what a fantastic video. such honesty and well judged bravery. Brings back memories of my wife and I climbing Gubia Normal in Mallorca 20 years ago. A 6-8 pitch rock climb up a steep ridge with panoramic views with some hanging belays. The classic route in Mallorca. Not that hard but it took us all day. Although a rock climb less gruelling than what you did. We reached the top as the sun set and were so happy
I have been climbing for some time "unprofessionally" and even so I would be equally scared to attempt such a long Via Ferrata. In addition doing it alone without having done it before definetely adds to the difficulty of it. Well done to you Sir showing some preservation and strenght.
2:15 'we should be save with this': with this safety system, if you fall, you will not fall to death, but potentially still be in quite big trouble, because you need to be able to pull you up by yourself. So you better choose a easy level so it's never a struggle (mentally, technicially and physicially)
DUDE! My palms were so sweaty as i was watching this whole video hahaha i could sense your relief at "the end" but also how scary it must have been. A little part of me really wants to go and try it out some day 👀
@thehumanchris I advise you not to even try this as it is very risky and dangerous. Bernardo shouldn't have done that... as he mentioned in the video, I was going to freack out, I almost did go crazy... You must always weigh the danger and not take risks... you are too precious to us and we don't want to lose you
@lacvice nah if you know how to use the equipment and know how to tackle technical climbs, it's pretty safe. But I agree, this one is pretty hard because it's just so long and doing it alone is close to insane but quite impressive ngl
Nice video! I did that Via Ferrata with my girlfriend this summer and I remember that it was really fun in the beginning but later you just hope that it ends soon. We had the same experience when you thought its was the end but in fact you still have about >1h to go... The way back on the glacier is also quite sketch if you don't really know where to go. And of course, it was also too late for us to get the cable car to go down. I guess you'll remember that journey for ever. Congratulations for doing it until the end!
We sometimes call this type 2 fun, when you do something, but the fun only starts to kick in when its over. There is also type 3 fun. That's the type of fun you really don't want to have.
Lol! Type 3 fun is when an ER visit or law enforcement is involved! T3f also means derision and dismissal of our fun goals...such as "is this ice too thick..." Or "is this too little RDX?" See?

@@mickeyvampire7514 Well, type 3 fun is when you are doing something for fun, but then you are so scared that you have nightmares and change your hobby.
@@jonasbehr7521lol i got a great example of type 3! that was free climbing in Colorado & spelunking for me, by the time I had 25 I’d dodged death more times than I could remember, and eventually a stunt on a glacier, resulting in me falling, which the local teams said kills or paralyzes most people. After that, I’d get jelly-legs & severe anxiety at worst possible moments on the cliff, further endangering my life, and was tied to the growing knowledge of how badly things could have gone for me and my friends. Now, I only do the same hikes my mom does. As for spelunking, like who thought it was a good idea to teach 15yo me that 4hrs spelunking in deep caves is a fun hobby! I wince thinking about all the close calls in there…… Maybe god put a brain tumor on my spine at age 27 because he figured otherwise I’d break it myself (again, but for good this time).
This is the the most realistic adventure video that i'v seen so fa, love your honesty and reactions! And thank you for sharing this, be proud of yourself!!
A huge fan. Your willpower and positive energy will get you through anything Bernardo. But I'm glad you've also felt your limits here. Good learning and viewing experience. This life is for living!
Don't know if that has been mentioned already in the comments, but a good idea is to have a short leash on your harness (or even just a quick draw) to just anchor yourself here and there and relax in the harness. You would rest your arms and legs. Also, it's no super clear on the video, but if that's not the case you should really have autolocking carabiner, not those with normal gates as they could open by bumping on the rock.
Wow.. This was insane in ways I surely could not have expected. And the way you told this story was impeccable. Got moved by the emotions of when you thought you had finished the climb, and the genuine fear along the way. You are incredible.
You are doing craziest thing i've ever seen bro, but i'm still love to enjoying the way you filming it's actually the incredible video on youtube even i told your yt channel to all my friends at school❤ i really love your yt channel🎉 keep going bro
Wow, what an incredible adventure 👏👏👏 I couldn't even believe how you managed to even shoot all of this. Totally felt all of the emotions going inside out. Sometimes I feel such days bring the real person out of you. Hats off to all of your efforts 👍👍👍
I've been watching your videos and have been enjoying your video making for years now. This was a very special experience and I am genuinely happy for you, for having bravely withstood such a dangerous moment. Yes, it was foolish of you to go unprepared, but you kept going in spite of the fear!
The wole film blended perfectly together. The best part was 15:06 because that was the most well deserved sip of water in film history! (ps check your email)
Hi, I'm 61 years old and I climbed also this nice Via Ferrata, I remember it was very hard, after this I say never again do this but today ...mhmm may be once again? I started also from the camp ground early in the morning when it was dark in september ... finished at 5 just for the last cable care down .... howwwww it was the best what I ever did ! all the best from switzerland
This needs to go viral STAT. The fact that you did this ALONE while filming which as most of us know having to go back and forth to the camera is hard enough just goes to show your dedication and we need these types of videos to Trent instead of the Mr Beast crapola
Saying that is stupid. Just because you don't know nor understand it does not qualify to make statements on this. I as a fellow alpinist think, it's "only" a via frerata, he can't get lost. It's not ideal to run into the dark, but with proper gear and training, there's nothing crazy about this.
Fairly new to your channel but love your videos Bernardo! You’ve inspired me make a change in my life and to go and find my happiness, get out there and explore the world. So thankyou dude, please keep up the top content. 🙂
Hearing you talk about how hard this is and then seeing the sign at 12:41 giving the option for "Easy" and "Hard" routes was certainly something, Imagine being at that point and thinking "Oh yeah, no definitely the hard route"
Amazing video Bernardo. IDK how you had the poise and courage to film while you were up that high. The music and the overhead camera were my favorite part!!
Hello Bernardo. I am a medical student. I come to see you because your videos makes me feel relaxed, free from stress and makes me joyful.. You are the aid for my anxiety.. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
i was watching your videos for quite a while but this one just made me hit the subscribe button i know about that hike and how dangerous is it so proud of you man
Did the short via ferrata (just pass the flag) 2015. Wanted really to do the long route, but as I was running marathon 6 days later (and even though it was called "Königsschlösser ROMANTIC marathon" (In Füssen, next to famous Neuschwanstein castle)), I managed to do right decision and stick to short route. 😅 When walking back via regular hiking trail, made a stop, sat down, removed helmet, placed it next to bag - and helmet just rolled down the mountain, far-far away, and so it stayed there, somewhere .. 😊
This looks insanely hard i did noticed you had the karabiners facing the same way at some points and its important to put the openings on other sides of the rope
Was about to say this looks fun until I saw that tight rope type thing like there is no way. As with all climbing it all comes down to how much you trust the protection but the exposure level is crazy, especially with that tight rope section
As someone who only does B, little bit of C klettersteig, when going up, I use one of the carabieners to hook onto to ladder sports, so that IF you would fall, it is no more then a meter, instead of 3 to 5 meters down. Cause you will break something along the way
My son who was 14 at the time and my husband did it together 4 years ago. I spent the whole day sat on our balcony with binoculars absolutely terrified all day. They missed the last cable car down and had to walk down for the extra hour or so. Watching this video makes me realize how crazy this hike was. 😮
Very well filmed! This is known as the hardest via ferrata in switzerland. As Bernardo mentioned: it's definitively not for beginners. Although it normally doesn't take 12 hours to make it. I did it in 5 hours and I was not fast at all compared to other climbers. There is an exit after the first third of the route (where Bernardo paused in the gras). So if one is not sure to be ready, he can start and decide at this exit to proceed or not. If you don't feel well alone: the via ferrata is crowded during summer season.
Still not the hardest, that's the K6 in Charmey. However, Charmey has a 20m difficult section, whereas Daubenhorn is long and arduous. But individual sections are not demanding in isolation.
@@atrib_ damn i alreaady feel like i was at my limit at k3 in engelberg. i think there was a 5m section with no rest, that was quite a challenge after the previous sections.
Most of this climb was sketchy, but the sheer stamina to complete the entire climb must have been devastating. The traverse across the cable was giving me a panic attack. Well done for doing it and for somehow filming the journey.
Awesome account of an epic day out. I live in Switzerland and have done quite a few via ferrattas. Just to say number one golden rule is to do it in pairs - physical and emotional support - especially on routes you don’t know. You were lucky…👍🙂

You would rest your arms and legs. Also, it's no super clear on the video, but if that's not the case you should really have autolocking carabiner, not those with normal gates as they could open by bumping on the rock.
Wow.. This was insane in ways I surely could not have expected. And the way you told this story was impeccable. Got moved by the emotions of when you thought you had finished the climb, and the genuine fear along the way. You are incredible.
This is insane. You are on of the best content creatures in the world in my opinion. Big respect to you ❤
You are doing craziest thing i've ever seen bro, but i'm still love to enjoying the way you filming it's actually the incredible video on youtube even i told your yt channel to all my friends at school❤ i really love your yt channel🎉 keep going bro
I’m only at 2:59 and my hands are already sweating from nerves 🤣
Wow, what an incredible adventure 👏👏👏 I couldn't even believe how you managed to even shoot all of this. Totally felt all of the emotions going inside out. Sometimes I feel such days bring the real person out of you. Hats off to all of your efforts 👍👍👍
I like it that you’re not the usual daredevil and that you’re very honest about the fear you experienced. Kudos to you for making it up!
I've been watching your videos and have been enjoying your video making for years now. This was a very special experience and I am genuinely happy for you, for having bravely withstood such a dangerous moment. Yes, it was foolish of you to go unprepared, but you kept going in spite of the fear!
The wole film blended perfectly together. The best part was 15:06 because that was the most well deserved sip of water in film history! (ps check your email)
Hi, I'm 61 years old and I climbed also this nice Via Ferrata, I remember it was very hard, after this I say never again do this but today ...mhmm may be once again?
I started also from the camp ground early in the morning when it was dark in september ... finished at 5 just for the last cable care down .... howwwww it was the best what I ever did !
all the best from switzerland
My hands are sweating just from watching your video. What an achievement!! Your strength kept you going 👏
Thanks for making me discover Protons (Strings & Piano) by Shawn Williams, it's such a beautiful song
One of the best adventure videos out there! 🌄 It's amazing, Bernardo-big respect for your creativity and problem-solving skills! 👏💯
Well done, dude. That hike is on my bucket list now
This needs to go viral STAT. The fact that you did this ALONE while filming which as most of us know having to go back and forth to the camera is hard enough just goes to show your dedication and we need these types of videos to Trent instead of the Mr Beast crapola
Exactly. Bernardo is underrated af. He definitely deserves more views. The quality of his videos are unparalleled.
Doing this route solo is just plain stupid.
Saying that is stupid. Just because you don't know nor understand it does not qualify to make statements on this. I as a fellow alpinist think, it's "only" a via frerata, he can't get lost. It's not ideal to run into the dark, but with proper gear and training, there's nothing crazy about this.
Fairly new to your channel but love your videos Bernardo! You’ve inspired me make a change in my life and to go and find my happiness, get out there and explore the world. So thankyou dude, please keep up the top content. 🙂
Hearing you talk about how hard this is and then seeing the sign at 12:41 giving the option for "Easy" and "Hard" routes was certainly something, Imagine being at that point and thinking "Oh yeah, no definitely the hard route"
Even in this situation his smile didnt disappear . Respect
Amazing video Bernardo. IDK how you had the poise and courage to film while you were up that high. The music and the overhead camera were my favorite part!!
I'm with your granny on this one! That was so scary... Brilliant filming. Don't do it again 😂
Your dedication on this video is a masterpiece 🙌
Hello Bernardo.
I am a medical student.
I come to see you because your videos makes me feel relaxed, free from stress and makes me joyful..
You are the aid for my anxiety..
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Mee to.. ❤
i was watching your videos for quite a while but this one just made me hit the subscribe button i know about that hike and how dangerous is it so proud of you man
Did the short via ferrata (just pass the flag) 2015. Wanted really to do the long route, but as I was running marathon 6 days later (and even though it was called "Königsschlösser ROMANTIC marathon" (In Füssen, next to famous Neuschwanstein castle)), I managed to do right decision and stick to short route. 😅 When walking back via regular hiking trail, made a stop, sat down, removed helmet, placed it next to bag - and helmet just rolled down the mountain, far-far away, and so it stayed there, somewhere .. 😊
Really you comeback with great content. best creator and top quality filming
Thanks for sharing this incredible experience! Astonishing!
Best hiking video I have ever seen on youtube
Nice job listening to your mind and body and knowing when to stop. This is officially on my bucket list.
was cheering for you the entire climb. what a terrifying route.
greetings from germany
This looks insanely hard i did noticed you had the karabiners facing the same way at some points and its important to put the openings on other sides of the rope
Was about to say this looks fun until I saw that tight rope type thing like there is no way. As with all climbing it all comes down to how much you trust the protection but the exposure level is crazy, especially with that tight rope section
Really awesome effort, be proud of your achievement!! I have just found my new objective for next summer!
As someone who only does B, little bit of C klettersteig, when going up, I use one of the carabieners to hook onto to ladder sports, so that IF you would fall, it is no more then a meter, instead of 3 to 5 meters down. Cause you will break something along the way
Beautiful sound design, Bernardo!
Bravo! Best video about this Ferrata!
Your videos are always of top quality ❤
My son who was 14 at the time and my husband did it together 4 years ago. I spent the whole day sat on our balcony with binoculars absolutely terrified all day. They missed the last cable car down and had to walk down for the extra hour or so. Watching this video makes me realize how crazy this hike was. 😮
09:21 nobody gonna save me. thats incorrect. call 1414 and the chopper is on the way!! :) greetings from a swiss dude
Been here since 1k subs! You are crazy!! Kudos to this achievement, you should be very proud of yourself
Very well filmed! This is known as the hardest via ferrata in switzerland. As Bernardo mentioned: it's definitively not for beginners. Although it normally doesn't take 12 hours to make it. I did it in 5 hours and I was not fast at all compared to other climbers.
There is an exit after the first third of the route (where Bernardo paused in the gras). So if one is not sure to be ready, he can start and decide at this exit to proceed or not.
If you don't feel well alone: the via ferrata is crowded during summer season.
What's the name of this route? It looks fun.
@Elementboy6522 Klettersteig Daubenhorn
Still not the hardest, that's the K6 in Charmey. However, Charmey has a 20m difficult section, whereas Daubenhorn is long and arduous. But individual sections are not demanding in isolation.
@@atrib_ You might be right, never did Charmey.
@@atrib_ damn i alreaady feel like i was at my limit at k3 in engelberg. i think there was a 5m section with no rest, that was quite a challenge after the previous sections.
Amazing video brother, fighting yourself and at the same time producing this kind of content is unbelievable, great work 👍❤️
wooooooowww!!! congrats for finishing it! it takes sooo much physical and mental strength
Absolute masterpiece
That looks like so much fun.
That's insanely insane 😮
That was INTENSE! That was scary just watching it. Well done for keeping yourself together in a situation as dangerous as that...
Most of this climb was sketchy, but the sheer stamina to complete the entire climb must have been devastating. The traverse across the cable was giving me a panic attack. Well done for doing it and for somehow filming the journey.
This is iMAX quality filming! Well done!
Amazing Channel Bro! Im staying here for a long time
Great video - the struggle is real, the video is real. The experience is real. Thanks!
Brave man! Epic hike.
Your grandma is gonna freak out? I AM FREAKING OUT from only watching this video! Amazing feat!
Awesome account of an epic day out. I live in Switzerland and have done quite a few via ferrattas. Just to say number one golden rule is to do it in pairs - physical and emotional support - especially on routes you don’t know. You were lucky…👍🙂
Well done for the awesome hike! I remember seeing your van driving to Kandersteg, I was on the other side of the road heading to work.
im afraid of heights watching this makes me feel im there! great job!
That was crazy 😂 Fair play, I would not have the courage for that
i really enjoyed your video. i can understand your feelings, it so tough knowing that you have no choice and you need to go on. well done
Bro came after a long time
Bro conquered our hearts
Bro left us hanging....
Be like bro
Bro is Bernard❤
Love you lots and lots from India❤
And " Best creator in the World " , award goes to Bernardo🎉🎉
Brother, that was insane , i was literally climbing with you, haha 🙏
Bro congratulations!! That looks awsome and scary but it get you closer to yourself
Been waiting your video for so long 😭
Nice Work. Bravo!
