Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In this episode my wife joins me on a short adventure for a Mediocre first. She's the first woman to every be featured on this channel! She's also the reason no woman has been featured up to this point. I was surprised at how eager she was to try her wits on the Via Ferrata in Murren, Switzerland. Especially considering she does zero outdoor activities. I started filming as a joke, hoping to capture her terror as she put her foot on the first loose bit of rebar. To my surprise, not only was she unfazed, she was even willing to go back and forth on some of the sketchiest parts for the footy

Paused after watching the first 1. 5 minutes to write this comment. Danny, you're doing an amazing job capturing all that footage of yourself while running - all the camera angles that you must have had to pre-plan, deciding where to focus the drone to get the best shot, then deciding when to make the drone follow you, placing cameras at different locations to capture yourself traversing the ridges - and doing all this while thinking about how to stitch it all in the form of a linear story (point a - b - c - d etc. Absolutely beautiful work. Goes a long way to show how much heart you put into your videos.
Just wanted to write this little observation I made, in this old video of yours; to have it unnoticed and unappreciated would have been a disservice to what you're doing and how well you're doing it.

My wife has gone on several legit/difficult hikes with me. The only thing that keeps her happy is snacks. She still usually complains some while on the trail with or without snacks, but always seems to enjoy it when we are done, especially with more snacks at the end. I'm still as confused now as the day I met her.

Obviously, I haven't seen all of your postings because I've been wondering why I never see any women on your adventures and walla. I finally see a woman who also happens to be your wife. She aced that adventure. Better keep looking over your shoulder from now on. someone might be gaining on you.

Wow, the Via Ferrata is actually really cool looking. When I was in Lauterbrunnen Valley in June I skipped it because I thought it was going to be guided and overblown/lame but clinging to the cliff wall actually looks dope. Such a cool area, got some leg trashing hikes in.

Great VID. I humbly ask a question for anyone. How does one get to this level of mountaineering? I know practice practice practice, but is this just a personality trait that folks are born with or have folks who may not have these traits reach these levels?
reply

I was thinking, why marry a person who doesn't share the same excitement for the outdoors. Oh now I see. Jk man I'm glad I get to check out your adventures. Inspires me to get after it. Headed to the Swell for some cold snowy camping.

Your wife is a badass and could rule this chanel. Stop discounting her and maybe you'll have more fun together. Maybe with her in a 2 person tent with you you'll be warm for once and we won't have to sit through your no homo fears.

I'm curious: for someone who enjoys the outdoors so much and spends so many of his weekends/holidays doing outdoor pursuits, why chose a partner who isn't interested at all in that sort of stuff? What DO you do together?

This Via Ferrata doesnt go down the cliff to the valley floor. It traverses the cliff between Murren and Gimmelwald. Lots of fun and very scenic, quite airy. Kudos, my spouse went to the spa while I was out there.

I think I speak for the Neanderthal wing of the Mediocre Amateur'ittes fan club when I say less of Danny, Blake, and Cristof and more of your wife. LOL Love the videos. Thanks for the inspiration to get out there!

You guys really gotta come up here to Alaska there are some seriously amazing places to hike/run/ski/climb. Hatcher's pass, black rapids glacier, chugach state park, Denali area/Alaska range. The list goes on

Mediocre amateur bringing a real amateur with him and totally nailing it. Thanks for mixing it up and changing the pace. Excellent series. Watch most of them. Wish could be joining in any of the trips.

My wife and I just did Via Ferrata in Telluride. Not as pretty as Switzerland, but still a blast. Good to see your wife out there. We've wondered what she thinks about all your adventures over the years.
reply

Lol my wife says the same thing why are we doing this? Even when just going out to walk the dogs a few miles. Good on her for going along with you. Sounds like your wife needs more challenging terrain.
reply

Just started watching your videos and I've really been enjoying them. If you're ever back in Switzerland you should check out the Hardergrat Trail, I hiked it last summer and it was awesome.
reply

Love how this younger generation can't really injoy the out door without the earbuds in, it just means to an end exploitation of the out doors once again.
reply

Oh wow, someone married up. Lucky guy! Meanwhile I'm over here pretending to poop and watching videos in my bathroom, to hide from my homely wife.
reply

you arent an amateur at all you guys are legit insane and whats crazy is youve been doing this for years, awesome stuff guy real good stuff
reply

Wow, your wife finds this stuff boring and there is NO WAY that I would have done this even if I still had my health! I feel SO emasculated!
reply

Lauterbrunnen valley, Murren and Wengen are some of my favorite spots on earth. This vid makes me want to go back more than ever.
