OK then I'll tackle Lavamünd during the holidays... My experiences so far: Triglav plemenice, turski žleb, Raduha, Brana, Stol and ferrata on Skalo in Slo. Konjicah...

Today I was there for the first time. Super thing! 3x up and 1x down. Regards.

Top-notch... But is this ferrata really such a bogeyman? Will my experiences suffice?

Of course they will! And don't forget the self-belay kit. Good luck!

07.07.2012.

First time on a ferrata. Because I don't know what other ferratas are like, this one seems quite demanding to me... good thing is that there are a few points in the ferrata where you can take a short break too. And with a break you don't disturb other climbers, you step aside.

When I got to the church, I almost collapsed and just sat motionless on the bench for some ten minutes. I was very exhausted... my problem is that my left leg still isn't fully fit after the accident, and it tires quickly after some effort...

Very tough thing, but now I'm thrilled with myself that I managed to climb it in its full length.

And yes, that ferrata is very dangerous, because at the end you're some hundred meters above the abyss, a slip and fall can be fatal. So, in no case up without self-belay set!

First I'd like to express respect to everyone regarding which ferrata they climbed. Reason... As a cave rescuer I set for my first feat the goal to climb "Gonžarjeva peč" which is nearby. But it made me think quite a bit. Well, I'll say it like this that in this case I had some advantages in rock fear of heights, then knowledge of knots and rope technique, so more time was devoted to thinking how to climb the wall. I saw that instructors did excellent work. And finally let me say that ferrata climbing gripped me too.... So I decided... of course in company with climbing partner to try other things or otherwise said more such walls like this in Labot. I miss though... that more precise locations of crags or ferratas aren't posted... or it's somewhere but I can't find. Good luck in the rocks.

If Dolomites interest you, Cicerone has two excellent guides to Dolomites ferratas:

http://www.cicerone.co.uk/product/detail.cfm/book/592/title/via-ferratas-of-the-italian-dolomites--vol-1
Ferratas in Dolomites are many, various difficulties and lengths. Real enjoyment. So enjoy and best regards.

Is this ferrata harder than Gonžarjeva peč? I've already climbed Gonžar and interested in comparison, because I'd try this too if not significantly harder.

This ferrata is significantly easier. It's meant for initial steps in learning ferrata climbing.

The ferrata in Labot is fun, short and nicely exposed, super equipped. It has two harder spots.

Last year we managed to climb it with my son. He enjoyed it very much nasmeh it is true he is used to climbing in crags (and clipping SVK). But I additionally belayed him with a rope!

Best, Darja nasmeh

What do I read up there! C/D, even D. Come on, no more than C, ok C+ but this really doesn't reach. And even that only on two verticals, the rest no more than B. Well, not to underestimate, especially for those for whom this is one of the first serious ferratas.

As for that friction climbing without steps and pegs: for someone who has at least Mojstrana and some similar ferratas behind them (ok, except maybe that overhang with peg) it shouldn't be a problem. The difficulty is then at most D, the first part of the first vertical and that overhang are say short D/E. The technique in this style isn't so problematic, more arm strength is needed. Because of that and the relative shortness of the harder spots, I wouldn't advise those who only do this test to move right away to harder ferratas, perhaps to somewhat harder ones: e.g. Mojstrana, Boč, both of which this is somewhat easier than.

With C+ rating I meant good C, with D or D/E I'd mark it if climbing without steps and pegs i.e. only with the aid of the cable.

Ratings are really subjective. You say Bruno Biondi says it's C because I saw C/D on one description (one part D). Well, it really interests me because this is one of my next ferrata stops.

But what D/E on such structured rock???

@don: No, at least that overhang at the peg and maybe some detail, the rest really isn't more than D. The rock is really quite well structured and that's why I'd say this isn't quite a real simulation of harder ferratas.

What is not difficult for someone can be really difficult for someone else... I am of the opinion that in Lavamünd grade C is the ceiling... As for Glinščica, none of the three ferratas (Bruno B, Nos and Zimska roža) exceeds grade C...

The condition on the ferrata is without peculiarities.
