Don’t Do This Via Ferrata if You Are As Tired As I Was

Описание: Right along the edge of the town of Montejaque sits a moderately strenuous K4 via ferrata. It features steep climbs, several overhangs, an impressive 72m (236 ft) zipline, and spectacular views of the region. I climbed it at the end of a long day of hiking and after three other via ferrata climbs. It was a rewarding and tiring experience. I definitely recommend getting a running start on the zipline and not wearing a heavy backpack so you don’t struggle through it like I did. Warning - lots of cursing ahead.

In December of 2024, Jason attempted a 60 mile backpacking route through the mountains of Southern Spain—alone. It began in the town of Ronda and ended outside of Estepona. 16 via ferrata routes intersected with his 4 day hike—he climbed 10 of them. This video features 1 of those routes. You can see the entire journey and all 10 routes here:    • 4 Days Solo Hiking Southern Spain
