Climbing the Via Ferrata Vittorio Barini (B/C) on the Cima Capi offers a fantastic, albeit moderately challenging, experience. The initial sections can be quite exposed with some airy traverses, demanding solid footwork and a good head for heights. The 'B' sections generally involve moderately angled rock with secure cables and adequate, but not always abundant, footholds. The 'C' sections require a bit more upper body strength, often involving steeper climbs and potentially fewer natural holds. Some may require pulling yourself up using the cable. Overall, Vittorio Barini provides stunning views of Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains, making the effort well worth it. Remember to be prepared with appropriate gear, including a via ferrata set, helmet, and gloves, and be aware of the weather conditions, which can change rapidly in the mountains. Experience on similar routes is highly recommended before attempting this climb.
