Introduction to Via Ferrata: Where Hiking and Climbing Meet!

Описание: A Via Ferrata ("Iron Way") is a mountain route non-technical hikers can climb while aided by various devices such as rungs, pedals, and ladders while remaining protected by a safety cable system. Here I go over the history of Via Ferrata and what gear you need to safely climb one. (Thanks to my friend Deb Sell for the Dolomite pics!)
