Via Ferrata Dolomites

Date: 10-17th July

Via Ferrata (Italian for "iron road" is a mountain route which is equipped with fixed cables, stemples, ladders, and bridges. The use of these allows otherwise isolated routes to be joined to create longer routes which are accessible to people with a wide range of climbing abilities. Walkers and climbers can follow via ferratas without needing to use their own ropes and belays, and without the risks associated with unprotected scrambling and climbing.

Over the past couple of years PMC members have ventured out to the Dolomites to climb some of the classic via Ferrata routes in the eastern Alps.
