Surviving a Level E Overhang on Schlossberg Via Ferrata: Real Safety Tips from an Average Climber

In this video, I tackle the notoriously difficult Schlossberg Via Ferrata, a Level E route with constant overhangs that push even experienced climbers to their limits. I start by addressing a critical danger on this route: the risk of falling on a vertical segment where you can end up below the anchor and safety steel cable. If that happens, the 2-meter deployment range of your Via Ferrata lanyard and shock absorber can make it nearly impossible to recover—and if you fall again while trying to climb back up, the consequences could be severe, from breaking your system to risking a deadly impact. I then dive into a key technique: the forearm hook. By using vector forces, this move helps you stay steady and maintain a good resting position, even on intense overhangs. I’m not a professional guide, an expert, or someone born in the mountains doing this daily. I’m an average person—a software engineer who used to work 14-hour days in Central London. Yet here I am, sharing real-world safety advice that anyone can apply. This makes me the perfect role model for everyday adventurers who want to take on challenges like this. I also showcase the advantage of using Ferrata.Bloc for safety and stability. And finally, in a bit of sarcasm directed at influencers, I give you my 'best shot,' which is far from perfect—because this is real life, without filters, without deceiving the viewer. #ViaFerrata #SchlossbergViaFerrata #ClimbingSafety #Adventure #JetSetYourself #RealClimbing #MountainClimbing #OutdoorAdventure #ClimbingTechniques #jetsetyourself #viaferrata #klettersteig
