Via ferrata Kandersteg - Allmenalp K4+ (difficult, exposed)

The K4+ Allmenalp via ferrata near Kandersteg is opening this weekend.
Anyone else interested in doing it?

Read the ferrata details carefully here:
https://www.allmenalp.ch/en/experience/climbing.html

This Via ferrata is a K4+ and is for experienced climbers, comfortable with heights and good stamina. There is a lot of exposure, with iron pegs on a vertical rock face, cable bridges and traverses over a waterfall.

Climbing time: ca. 3 hrs
excluding eating break, approach and descent.
The plan is to go back down with the cable car

If the restaurant at the top is open, we stop for refreshments there; nonetheless bring enough snacks for your needs, in case it is still closed.
Please familiarise yourself with the info provided in the official website.
