Climbing the Via Ferrata Carlo Campalani (Grade D) is a formidable challenge, reserved for experienced climbers with a solid head for heights and excellent physical condition. As a 'D' graded route, it features consistently steep to vertical sections, significant exposure, and often requires considerable upper body strength to navigate steel cables, ladders, and pegs.
The ascent is an adrenaline-pumping experience, unfolding against a backdrop of breathtaking Dolomitic scenery. Each exposed traverse and vertical climb demands focus and precision, rewarding perseverance with increasingly panoramic views. Proper equipment – including a helmet, harness, and a certified via ferrata set – is absolutely paramount for safety.
The return from Via Ferrata Carlo Campalani is often as demanding as the ascent. Depending on the specific route chosen for the descent (which can be a different path or retracing part of the climb), it requires careful navigation, sustained concentration, and often involves steep scree slopes or further exposed sections. Successfully completing both the climb and the return journey leaves one with a profound sense of accomplishment and unforgettable memories of a truly Alpine adventure.
