General ferrata course programme
We’ll begin by climbing a simple, short ride via Ferrata suitable for beginners. Here, you can learn how to use your Ferrata equipment and the fundamentals of this sort of route.
This first easy ferrata is a chance to get used to the altitude and exposure and use your arms and legs efficiently. A common mistake many beginners make via Ferrata is exerting excessive force by “pulling” on the rope, resulting in the unnecessary expenditure of a significant amount of energy.
Thus, it is of primary importance to position feet correctly on rocks and gain sensitivity and trust in one’s shoes on rocks, even on small rocky surfaces.
At the same time, you will start getting used to the height and exposed positions, the basic knots, and the use of Ferrata equipment.
Join the via ferrata course and learn how manage the ferrata on your own.
