Climbing the Vía Ferrata Escaleruela, graded 'C', is a fantastic adventure for those with a good head for heights and reasonable physical fitness. Located in the beautiful Spanish landscape, this route truly earns its name, 'Escaleruela' (little ladder), with numerous vertical sections ascended via fixed rungs and ladders. The exposure is considerable in parts, offering exhilarating moments as you traverse sheer rock faces, always secured by the ever-present steel cable. The Grade C means you'll encounter some challenging, exposed sections that require sustained arm strength and careful footwork. However, the effort is richly rewarded by breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. It's a thrilling experience that combines the thrill of climbing with the security of a well-maintained fixed route, leaving you with a profound sense of achievement at the top.
