Iโ€™m organizing a Via Ferrata event ๐Ÿฅพ in La Morte and would love for you to join me. Weโ€™ll park in the village ๐Ÿš— and then head to the river where weโ€™ll equip our Via Ferrata sets ๐Ÿง—โ€โ™€๏ธ and begin our ascent up the mountain โ›ฐ๏ธ. Once we reach the top, weโ€™ll have a picnic ๐Ÿงบ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅช and enjoy the view ๐ŸŒ„.

Afterward, weโ€™ll head back down to La Morte where weโ€™ll have the option to either try a second Via Ferrata route if we have enough time and motivation ๐Ÿ’ช or simply relax by the river ๐Ÿ’ฆ or lake ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ.

Please note that while I am not a professional climbing instructor ๐Ÿง—โ€โ™‚๏ธ, I will be happy to show everyone how to properly wear their Via Ferrata sets ๐Ÿชข and provide assistance during the climb if needed ๐Ÿ†˜. My goal is to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience while exploring the beauty of the mountain โ›ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€. ๐Ÿง—โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘
