A REAL challenge!

An extreme physical and mental challenge. I had to pick the bunggy jumpy and the climbing and I am glad I chose the climbing of via ferrata. I found very safe and exhausting at the end of the climb. It was more than what I had expected!

Fun morning!

Great for beginners but you do need to be fairly fit to do this! It was a great introduction to the experience of rock climbing on a safe via ferreta rail system.
