climbing is something i've never done that regularly, but always wanted to do more. one of my friends is really quite into climbing and dragged me round a via ferratta climb when we were in france canoeing. it was such a laugh, most of it was fine, but the wire bridge had me crapping myself. also everyone we passed were properly kitted up, we had a harness each with a couple of cowstails and that was it. no spare ropes or anything for back/emergency, but suppose that was part of the fun! here's me half way across the wire bridge!
