Video Recap of our Local Training in Via Ferrata Povoa do Lanhoso
In the first ferrata ever setup in Portugal, our group set out on a great adventure. The weather couldn’t have been better: clear skies, not too hot considering it was mid-summer in Portugal.
Being an old installation of Via Ferrata it was characteristic due to the thinner life rope. The perfect opportunity to practice our adaptability to different settings. However, the Via Ferrata was at an easy level, with not so serious obstacles.
he conditions were perfect to talk about safety. After a short introduction by instructor Rui Pereira, we got to try some prusik looping with the thinner cable giving us an extra level of difficulty.
Even though some of our participants had to overcome their fear of heights, we can proudly say that everybody made it to the end without any major issues, in what was a very relaxed, active day spent in nature.
