According to literature, with V. berus is such behaviour highly exceptional.
You must have been very lucky. And, yes, photos please, if available.
I've seen just a single photo of a climbing V. berus, while those of climbing
V. ammodytes abound.

So maybe you would agree with my thesis that the Balkan clade of V. berus (a.k.a. V. berus bosniensis)
are swift and rather nervous dragons which don’t give one much chance for in situ photos, unlike their
more sedate cousins (V. berus berus) from the north... Nobody in this forum has believed me yet...
