Climbing and Via Ferrata
I want to thanks Mr. Visinand, whose nice and simple blog http://visinand.ch/ has been as source of inspiration, especially at the beginning of experience with via ferrata.
Nowadays, one can find many ideas, for many mountain sports in the very-well-done portail-des-courses-du-cas (by the suisse alpin club)
