Known as the Königsjodler this is the longest via ferrata in Austria. Basically this is rock climbing with the aid of a fixed steel rope for safety.
Here's a video that shows you much better than the photos how exposed it it:
Königsjodler video - to set the scene!
The route - up to just shy of 3000m
Hermann & Carl - ready for action - I think?
Climbing Up!
The Virgin Step. Only a few 1000ft drop.
Really happy there is a wire!
The High-Wire
The way ahead!
Still Climbing...
Hermann - Took more photos than me?
The view back down
We made it - top of the climb (only took 6 hours + 1.5 hours walk in)
Just the short walk to the hut then! Ouch..
Sun set from the Hut..
A nice quiet night with 12 people sleeping our room! But we were glad to have a bed and a meal!
