Yesterday I visited [url=www.ferratecasto.com]ferrata park[/url] near the village of Casto north of Brescia. It has 18 ferratas, heights mostly between 40 and 65 m. Since Casto lies low (elev. approx. 350 m), one would expect it not to be freezing cold. But it shows that it's a closed valley, similar to our Baška grapa, where cold air lingers and therefore the temperature is significantly lower than at Lake Garda just 30 km away and not significantly lower-lying.
Due to confusion with ratings, I climbed some ferratas with wrong gear, unnecessarily overloading my arms and in the end only climbed 9 ferratas.
Also the ferrata through Luina gorge is by no means easy (according to them A/B). Since in many passages you hang on your arms, difficulties are definitely B/C, if not C, certainly not A/B.
Otherwise it's quiet there in winter, few visitors, so I had plenty of time for photography.
Ratings of climbed ferratas
(ferrata label : their French rating .. translated to Austrian rating .. my rating):
No.15 : AD .. B/C .. C
No.14 : TD .. C/D .. D
No. 6 : PD .. B .. B/C
No. 5 : TD .. C/D .. D
No. 7 : AD .. B/C .. D, maybe D/E (similar spots in Železna kapla)
No. 8 : TD .. C/D .. D/E, E spot (similar to spot on our right Zelenica)
No. 9 : AD .. B/C .. B/C
No.10 : TD+ .. between C/D and D .. D/E or E
Stretta di Luina: F+ .. A/B .. B/C or C
the hardest, which I didn't climb, are above parking (both overhang nearly 55 m):
Colpo di Strega : ED+ .. E .. my rating E/F
Arcobaleno : ED+ .. E .. E/F, maybe even F (looks harder than C.d.Strega).. but true it has additional pegs next to cable in places, so definitely easier than Arena Variante in Austria
hope these infos will be useful to you.
