Climbing 'Luft unter den Sohlen' (literally 'Air Under Your Soles') is an experience that pushes you both physically and mentally. Graded D/E, this via ferrata in the Alps demands solid technique, good stamina, and a healthy dose of courage. The exposure is significant; often, you're traversing steep rock faces with nothing but air beneath your boots. This adds a thrilling element to every move, making each clip of the carabiner a conscious decision. The route likely features a mix of vertical climbs, exposed traverses, and perhaps even some short, overhanging sections. Prepare for challenging iron rungs, cables that test your grip, and breathtaking panoramic views that reward your efforts. This climb isn't for beginners; prior via ferrata experience is highly recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable ascent. Remember to check weather conditions beforehand and carry appropriate equipment, including a via ferrata set, helmet, and gloves.
