    Thanks for sharing Rockoyster! That’s adventurous indeed, to say the least. Such stunning images! I wonder how on earth one can climb a via ferrata and at the same time handle a selfie stick that smoothly. I’m afraid I’ll just limit myself to the less challenging valley and mountain strolls…

    <<“But I see you seem to be wearing special shoes!! “>>

    As far as I can tell. Rockoyster is not doing the excursion.

    What do you think?

    Any serious mountain hiking or exploration requires serious footgear.
