Sebastion climbing the Ladders
It is snowing here in La Grave! We are all excited, and I am looking forward to seeing this place with a bit more snow. The telepherique was closed today again. This time for the wind and snow, so a bit easier to deal with. So instead I went with a couple of Belgian guys to go do a via ferrata. It was just down the road a bit and was called Pont D'sarine. For those of you who don't know what a via ferrata is, it is a route up the rock using metal ladders and a cable to climb. The ladders are like pieces of rebar in the rock and you wear a harness with two clip-in points in order to secure to the cable. It is something we don't have in the states. This was just a short one, about 400 meters or so, but super fun. I guess they have huge routes throughout the alps, and were originally put in to use for black-market transportation.
