ABOUT VIA FERRATA CLIMBING
A via ferrata is a vertical and horizontal route along a wall equipped with special gear such as: pegs, iron rungs, grips, handrails, chains, hanging bridges and zip lines, which allow you to progress on the wall and to safely reach secluded areas, unaccessible to hikers. Usually a steel cable will secure your climb through the via ferrata. Some via ferratas do not have a steel cable, in those cases, sports climbing equipment will be required to insure your protection (via cordata).
To do a via ferrata you need a basic climbing equipment consisting of harness, helmet and energy dissipator (via ferrata kit). A rope can sometimes be useful in via ferratas to protect exposed or difficult passages.
