last week i was on a via ferrata with level D, there were quite a lot of level D sections and in front of me was a father with his son who was 12 years old...here you could see the great interaction of the two, firstly you could see that the little boy already had experience, because he mastered the difficult sections very well and his father also motivated him again and again with words and sentences like...take your time...think carefully about what you are doing...concentrate on yourself etc. was really great to see! greetings from austria, vienna
It’s not really the “bigger” problem. If you fixed that one technique problem of the bent arms, he is still too young and inexperienced probably to be for some reason climbing that section without the resting system. It just wouldn’t make sense
@@loniousmonk My personal opinion is that there is no such thing as "too young". If you can rock climb 6b - you will be able to do any via ferrata. And if we take someone like Adam Ondra - he was onsighting 7b+ at age 8. Brooke Raboutou - 8a at age 9.
This is on ossiach via ferrata peterle. This is a transverse D. U have to have ur arms long and bend your legs to save energy.

Greetings from let me check where exactly I am 😉
I think the bigger problem is having bent arms traversing an overhang. "How to tire yourself quickly 101"
Yes, true.

So true! Thanks for sharing your experience. That´s my experience watching some of these climbers.
Plus clipping 3 items per anchor is slower and more tiring than 2
Yes, agreed. Many times annoying.
