1. Before leaving, make sure the weather is stable
Consult the weather reports, especially the local ones, that give more specific information. Make sure there are no thunderstorms on the horizon.
2. Always use the approved via ferrata kit
It consists of a tear-off shock absorber with a system of seams that, in the event of a fall, break and absorb energy, and of two sturdy snap hooks, to be used in pairs during the ascent.
3. Always carry the technical equipment with you
The equipment must include: helmet, low climbing harness and shoes with grip and climbing zone.
4. If you are going with other people...
...keep a piece of rope and additional carabiners in your backpack, and make sure you know how to use them if you need to.
5. Always remember: use your head and legs, before your arms
If you are an amateur, rely on a mountain expert to learn the progression and belaying technique.
