-Okay, Ciao!
-Okay, bye!
Bye!
Wow!
-Go!
-Oh, wow!
-Oh, my God!
Second day. Second attempt
Today, we didn't bring the car
We thought that it would be a waste of time looking for parking. So, we took  public transport
From here, we will board a train from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen and from there, we will board a cable car
and then further board a train to reach Murren
This is the cable car that goes to Murren
I wonder how so many people are fitting inside just one cable car!
When I saw the crowd, it didn't seem like all of us would fit inside this one box
It is essential to wear a mask in such places
because you can see how crowded it is
They follow the basic rule of wearing a mask inside any closed space
Welcome to Murren
We are finally here!
Yesterday, I told you that Murren is a car free town
It is technically correct, but look behind
A truck is parked there
So, the people who live here don't have cars but they do use vehicles for construction
And some hotels are using vehicles right now
But cars are not allowed for the people from outside
This town is nestled right in the midst of mountains
Look at the view from here
*Kala Chashma!*
Take a look... What a view! We're eating here
-Good?
-Very good!
So, having eaten, we're satiated now
We went a little overboard with the food because we might need it while mountain climbing
A lot of calories are going to be burned
The mountain climbing that we are going to do is quite special
It's called Via Ferrata
-Yes
-And what does Via Ferrata mean?
-It's Italian. And it means something like Iron road
Or iron street
because there are some iron rods in the stones of the mountains
so that with a harness and a rope for security, you can basically climb on these mountains safely
You will see a real life example in a short while
....edge of the rock, a little bit through the forest to Gimmewald
where  the next station is.. of the cable car
-Okay         -Umhmm
-...and this is the start
-I'm scared of the flying foxes
-Sunglasses... put them down and the last one please close the door
-Put your "kaala chashma" down!
Wow! This looks crazy
I can barely see where we are going
-It's like the dark dining that we did
-Yeah!
-Ouch!
I even hit my head somewhere
-There's gonna be cables like this
That is where you want to attach yourself with your carabiners
So, you just put it in your hand and you squeeze from both sides
Then it opens. Then you can hook it on
Same with the other one
The basic condition is that you have to do them alternately... not simultaneously
Is this the most popular Via Ferrata here?
-Yeah, I would say so            -Yeah?
Is it because of the...
-The access is really easy and moving forward is very very quick
-Umhmm
-And it's not a very difficult path... I mean, it's very scenic            -Yeah
-So it's the easiest probably always walking sideways... Like this
You need to swap the carabiner and you can still reach it from there
...Longer arms...
and I had a big jetpack...
-Okay
-My legs are also long
In normal mountain climbing, one never climbs the edge of the mountain because it's extremely dangerous
You can slip easily and fall all the way down
But the benefit of Via Ferrata is that since we are secure because of this safety,
we can go to such dangerous places and the edges
-Oh, there is an air flier!
-There is?
Oh wow! that's very close to us, though
*desperate plea to land*
-That's two people
-How do you know that?
-Four legs
-If you keep moving forward a little bit, you can stop after this
-Okay
-If you..(inaudible).. that's okay
Walking on these huge rocks like this reminds me of two things-
The first is the scene from the movie Lakshya in which Hritik Roshan was climbing a mountain
The mountain and the valley was somewhat like what you can see over there
And secondly, it reminds me of the movie Ishq, in which ,
Amir khan was walking on the pipes and saying
*fervently taking God's name*
Okay, finally, there is a platform here
-Oh, thank God!
Can you hold there for a while? It looks epic!
*Content maata ki jai*
Are these pillars trustworthy?
Cuz they look very loose to me!
Look at this! This is moving up and down
-That's fine, though
-Oh, my God!
You can see everything below me
-So, when you're here, you can use one hand on the rope
and one on this
Put you right hand on the bars
-Okay, because the rope is not slippery here because of the water
-It is ... (inaudible)... past me
-Should I go past you?
-Yep, you can go past me
-Okay
-Step here
-First go..      -No, over the top
-So, here it is all dry again.    -Yeah
-So, just keep following along
-You okay?       -Yeah. I'm scared
-Wow, now we are really going onto the edge
Damn! This is such a straight fall
-Step down and then flip
-Oh wow
Look what we came across while we were on our way
There is a base jumping platform here
This person is going to do base jumping right now
These are the instructions of base jumping written here
Absolutely no jumping between 9AM and 2PM because helicopters fly then
-Can use your squirrel suit
-Squirrel suit?
The squirrel suit is here
-How many times have you done it?
-Like today or...?
-Ever?
-5 times- base jumping. If you're saying sky diving- around a thousand
-Thousand times?
-But today I'm lost, so I can do like 5-6
-Oh wow!
-How many seconds does it take until you open the parachute?
-Like... 20
-20 seconds
That's still a lot
I was expecting something around 2-3 seconds
Making he's got like a ... space for a passenger somewhere
He's expecting snow up in the air.. with the goggles
-You're expecting snow?
-Naturally with snow, you've to go there
If you want snow, go there
-I'm getting nervous on his behalf       -Yeah, right?!
-You've two GoPros- one for the back, one for the front
-Yeah, I'm training for a competition. So, I have to see
-Oh, really?
..position of the arms
-Which competition?
-And we have a GPS here
-eh, a few locals
Okay, have a good day guys!
Okay. Ciao
-Okay, bye!
Wow
-Go!
-Oh wow
-Oh my God!
-Where did he go? I don't see him
-He's gone
-He's still flying right over there. See?
Oh wow. Now,  I see him!
I see him
Looks like a flying squirrel
-That's what it's called!
Oh that was not 20 seconds!
He lied about the 20 seconds!
*He's peanut butter and jealous*   *Don't be stupid*
Now, it's a freefall from here
-Okay, don't....
-No wonder the base jumping starts here
-Look at the rock and then try stepping on the red rock. The wet rock is slippery
-looks okay!
