| lisae | Rating question? | |
Voted 10/10 | I am ignorant when it comes to the rating system on via Ferrata routes. Can you explain what you mean by a difficulty of 'D' or point me to a good website? Thanks! | |

Hasn't voted | Hi lisae, In Europe are different types for rating a via ferrata. Kurt Schall, Eugen Hüsler, etc. But all have something in common. All are structured in 5 steps. To make it easier they have classified it with letters: A - B - C - D - E It is like: A - less difficult B - little difficult C - difficult D - very difficult E - extrem difficult A-E says only something about the steepness and the power you need in your arms. Look here: http://www.via-ferrata.de/alpinismus/schwierigkeit.php Don´t mistake this "D" with the french "D" for "difficle" for alpine climbing! To make a via ferrata "D" isn´t as hard and objectivly unsafe as the french one. I hope I could help you and you understood my bad english. ;-) Greets Sebastian | |
