Klettersteig am Staudamm (107 m): Trotz Höhenangst gemeistert

Climbing on the dam: Despite my fear of heights, I climbed 107 meters up the dam wall at Mooserboden. The via ferrata is known as Mobo107 and is located above Kaprun. Click here for the report: https://homeoftravel.de/klettersteig-... I'm not immune to heights. Sometimes it's better, sometimes less so. It depends on my form on the day, the preparation I put into a tour, and also the specific route. This time, the via ferrata on the dam wall of the Mooserboden reservoir is on. I already feel queasy at the bottom. What do you do about your fear of heights? Face it? Or do you prefer to avoid it? So I put on my climbing harness, via ferrata set, and climbing helmet and start on the zip line. There, the carabiner is attached to the climbing harness. I take a running start and enjoy the fun part of the tour. After that, things get serious. Small footholds, like those you'd find in a climbing gym, are installed beneath a taut wire rope. I'm supposed to climb up there. Phew. Even at this point, I realize this isn't going to be easy for me. I climb higher and higher, not looking down unnecessarily, and therefore can't admire the view. It's really amazing, though, I realize later when I look at the footage! In the upper third, I have a choice between two routes. The more difficult one leads via the so-called Swing, but according to the description, it's only for brave and experienced climbers. No chance, I'm not going through that. I'll be glad to leave the dam behind me. So we stay on the easier route and cover the last few meters towards the exit. A wire rope bridge follows. Then I have solid ground under my feet again. Finally! My conclusion: Climbing a dam isn't for me. Unlike a via ferrata on rock, I've never had a secure footing with my entire foot on a ledge here. While it's not technically difficult, the mental challenge is still high. Especially if, like me, you're not afraid of heights. But if the height doesn't bother you, you'll definitely have fun. :) Tour Facts: Start: Mooserboden Mountain Restaurant Elevation: 2,027 m Distance: 400 m Walking Time: 1.5 h Elevation Gain: 107 m Difficulty: Moderate, a head for heights is essential!
