My second climbing challenge. While not as physically challenging as the first one, this certainly had better views! Hope you enjoy the scenery. I really enjoyed this one.

Before I went to Spain and met Sylvia Fitzpatrick I had absolutely no idea what a Via Ferreta is so please see below courtesy of Wikipedia:

The essence of a modern via ferrata is a steel cable which runs along the route and is periodically (every 3 to 10 metres (9.8 to 32.8 ft)) fixed to the rock. Using a via ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the cable, limiting any fall. The cable can also be used as aid to climbing, and additional climbing aids, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps and even ladders and bridges are often provided. Thus via ferratas allow otherwise dangerous routes to be undertaken without the risks associated with unprotected scrambling and climbing or the need for climbing equipment such as ropes. They offer the relatively inexperienced a means of enjoying dramatic positions and accessing difficult peaks, normally the preserve of the serious mountaineer

Thanks for watching.  

If you have any challenge ideas for me to attempt let me know.

Many thanks to Sylvia, Pablo and Louise
