What to expect

You are clipped to the cable at all times

Two lanyards, and you move them one at a time so one is always attached. That sequence is the whole technique.

Exposure is the difficulty, not the moves

The rungs are easy. The drop below them is what makes it hard, and no amount of fitness helps with that.

Get off before the afternoon storms

A steel cable up a rock face in a thunderstorm is the one situation to have already avoided. Early starts are not enthusiasm, they are the plan.

Gloves and a helmet, both provided

The cable frays and shreds bare hands, and the party above you dislodges stones.

What travellers said

★★★★
“The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Would book with them again.”
Tom Bergman, Auckland — Brenta — day ferratas
★★★★★
“Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.”
Priya Nair, Kolkata — Brenta — day ferratas
