Via Ferrata + Abseling
What is a Via Ferrata?
A Via Ferrata is a course set out with a fixed steel cable along a rock wall. The difference with normal rock climbing is that the climber secures himself/herself using the iron cable, instead of a second person belaying the climber via a rope.
Meeting point is the RCC shop. The crew dispense the necessary gear to the clients. After that, the guide takes the clients to the Tafelberg, which is a 10-minute drive with our minivan.
From the point where the RCC van gets parked, it’s around 15 minutes hiking to reach the Via Ferrata. After having received clear instructions, the clients ascend the Via Ferrata under the guide’s surveillance.
The VF brings them to the top of the Tafelberg, which is a big platform. Next up is the Proa lookout point. A small break while enjoying the view. Thereafter, it’s time for the abseiling.
The guide gives instructions and explanation concerning the techniques and safety for the abseiling. Each client descends through ‘el Abismo’, a big hole at 50 meters of altitude. Experience is not required for this tour, any beginner can do it!
Highlights:
- The sensation of climbing the Tafelberg independently with the help of the Via Ferrata
- The view from the Proa lookout point
- Descending through ‘el Abismo’ as good as independently
