Hi Conor, Glad you enjoyed it! Part 3 is up, http://traveldave.com/index.php/2010/04/climbing-zugspitze-part-3/

I’d say that if you are an experienced hiker, climbing peaks with a backpack, and able to do well over 1,000m vertical in a day, you should be able to handle it. The important things are: 1) right equipment 2) good weather 3) map / knowledge of the route so you don’t get lost. I highly recommend to stay in that hut, Hollentalangerhutte, overnight before climbing the main mountain.

The “normal” hiking route – I’ve no idea, but it’s not so steep & dangerous for sure.

i love this. i’m a hiker who spent 6months hiking new zealand last year and this looks much more challenging. much more dangerous too.How much experience would i need to do something like this. What’s the normal hiking route like? I’d love to see part 3 of your video which looks amazing.

Cool, didn’t know you could do that. I’ll have to take a look into it in the next few days. Right now I’m doing a final proofread of the book…

Nice views ! You should probably add captions on youtube to link the three videos together.
