| ganesh70 | Another good one! | |
Voted 10/10 | I know very well this mountains and I can tell that you did a very good job. There's also another ferrata on the north-east gorge, called "Steinbergerweg", but I climbed it many years ago and I don't have recent information. As I told you for me you overestimated the "Senza Confini", there are many vie ferrate that are much more difficult and challenging. Ciao!! | |

Voted 10/10 | Hm, where is the Austrian ferrata, called Fuehrer weg or something like it? I think I saw its description in one book about Carnic Alps (Stritar?). | |

Voted 10/10 | Yes, I searched among my route descriptions from 'Bergsteiger' magazine and found it: It looks it's the same ferrata. E. Hüsler names it Weg ohne Grenzen / Ferrata senza confine. He rates it 'schwierig', so I would recommend Bor, that also you lower your grading from 'very hard' to 'hard'. But it's not my own experience, of course. On my Tabacco map this ferrata is also (actually only) named 'Bergfürerweg'. And in Bergsteiger route descriptions I also found a description with this same name. The ferrata was made in 1996 and is rated 'sehr sportlicher Klettersteig', a somewhat unofficial and strange rating, where you don't know how hard it is. So, this is clear. There also exists the third route, which Bor also mentions. So, Bor, why not adding it on your list on the main page: The eastern approach goes by the Austrian territory and is named 'Steinbergerweg'. In Hüsler's Klettersteig Atlas it is rated as an easy ferrata, with some care about falling rocks needed. As you mentioned it joins the other two routes above, below the summit part. Cheers! Vid | |

Voted 10/10 | The ferrata "Steinbergerweg" is dedicated to an hero of the austrian army of the WWI ( Simon Steinberger ). I remember that was easy but the iron ropes were in very bad shape, I hope thay renewed it. | |

Hasn't voted | This is the third possibility? when I was there some people came out over this ferrata and from the east ridge there was an iron cable down in to the east ravine. I mentioned it in text. Cheers! | |
