Via Ferrata Simone ContessiNice ferrata but not so easy as it is commonly reported. Especially the recently equipped spur.

Via Ferrata Simone ContessiHmm, I'm not a beginner, and I think I made some more or less difficult Via Ferrate in my life, but this one was the most difficult I ever made.
But nevertheless it was a lot of fun! Bad luck that at the descent I had to run against an upcoming thunder storm.

Route Climbed: From the street to Morterone (LC) Date Climbed: 11.09.2004I climbed from the easy ferrata named Contessi. From the Ballabio's place there are many paths directed to the summit without the via ferrata.
