Via Ferrata: La prise de la Bastille

Hello,

Here we are again with a new post. We have been doing few things these months but didn't have time to include the reports in our Blog. Well, that is over now: we are back on-line ;)

In August we accomplish a long-time wish: we did our first Via Ferrata. This is a modality of climbing (literally "ironed way"), aided by metal hooks, ladders and wires installed on the rock wall. Is is very secure, since we have to wear a especial harness, with two fixation ropes, and a helmet. The sense of danger is quite real, though, and the climbing sometimes can be a bit physical.

We went with a large group of friends and we enjoyed it very much! This Ferrata is the closest to Grenoble... actually it is in Grenoble. It climbs from the gardens of the Porte de France, by the river Isère, and up to the Bastille.

Here you can find some pictures of this great adventure.

Right after, we joined our friends to eat a huge paella... Manu was cooking! But this is for our next post. Until then, take care.

Cheers,
-Manu & Nina-
