I believe the very narrow part of Jubilaeumsgrat is only a couple hours' hike. My understanding is there's no Via Ferrata as it's just a narrow trail with near-cliffs on both sides. Try Wikipedia for more info and links (I know it's hard to find info in English), or call / email WN Alpin where I suggest to rent gear. The owner speaks some English and could probably give some tips. Hi Tim, I didn’t find out much about it, but I did ask someone recently.

Sorry about the slow response to moderation, I'm in Vienna right now. Part 3 should be up in a couple weeks; I still have to edit the video (the trial software expired, I've since bought the full version). Next summer I want to do Alpspitze and perhaps Jubilaeumsgrat (narrow trail on the ridge, dropoff on both sides). Hi Tim, thanks!

I intend going over from Ireland for this climb during the summer and your film is a great aid, look forward to more. Excellent.

It was zoomed slightly so it wasn't a total 1/2 sphere 180 degree view. For snowboarding I'll use a different wide lens that doesn't distort (but isn't quite as wide).

Do you have a fish eye lens on the camera or is it just the fact that you are so zoomed out ? The views around the bridge at the start are a little confusing as when you move your camera it all becomes warped.
