Yesterday after trying my new climbing shoes on the first climb and taking a break for a little picninc Ionut decided we should try something else and we tackled the Via Ferrata.
I don't have all the numbers yet, but just to give you a general idea the Via Ferrata is a very long climbing course which is lined by a steel cable that you attach yourself to for safety. Along the way, in places where it gets too difficult, there are big steel bolts inserted into the rock creating a sort of ladder. It's a fairly easy course but it can get tiring because of its length (it took us one hour to get to the top).
The enclosed picture is taken near the top, some 150 m above the starting point at the bottom of the valley. There's another person in the picture dressed in yellow on the road bellow, just to my right. It should give you an idea of height.
LATER NOTE: Via Ferrata is a generic term for this kind of climbing course. There's a comprehensive Wikipedia article on Via Ferrata.
