Mos_Chillin Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Building a Via Ferrata is a matter of professionals and not everyone can build a Via Ferrata. Liabilities, laws requirements, material, design, operation management are the keys when you consider building a Via Ferrata. Quote

tivoli_mike Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 that's just wrong. Of course now we can discuss various discussions of via ferratas ratings. Perhaps by how many blister you get on your hands from gripping the rungs. Quote
tivoli_mike Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 There is never any waiting on viaferrata routes! Of course this looks kind of fun: Quote

Dru Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 They have all sorts of cool sports in Europe like hydrospeed and Zorbing yes I know NZ isnt in Europe Quote
Dru Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 I saw these guys swimming through some Class IV whitewater on their little hydrospeed "river sledges" in New Zealand... they would go headfirst over drops that kayakers would get out and scout first...it was pretty cool Quote
Winter Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Can we please get a new Via Ferrata forum? Quote
tivoli_mike Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Then there is the Seattle Style With "accro branching" Quote
EWolfe Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Get Rumr on it and they'd rename it "aggrobranching" Quote
