Characteristics

The Via Ferrata of Yeste consists of two sections with difficulty K2 and K3.

SECTION 1 (K2)

We will start descending, a different way to start the via ferrata, bordering a large rock formation to a small pass between two rocks where on windy days it can be quite windy. From here we can see wonderful views of the Calares del Mundo, we will continue by a secured path. We will ascend by an edge of the rock encountering a metal bridge about 5 m long, where we will have to test the balance as it lacks holds for hands, after passing the bridge we continue along a vertical path. Once we reach the crossing we will take the route to our right to finish the section K2, which we can also be used as an escape route.STRETCH 2 (K3)

This section starts from the end of K2, to our left we will flank a ledge and ascend to a chain that we will use to progress and this will take us to the beginning of the 15 m monkey bridge.  Then through a traverse that runs below a somewhat overhanging ledge. We will find the life line above our heads, which makes this part more interesting. A secured path will guide us to the beginning of a 55 m zip line (avoidable by a path) and once done we will go around the rocky base. At this point by an edge we will make a climb IIIº only with the secure rope, having to use the rock. Once we enter a hollow and we will arrive at the highlight of the via ferrata of Yeste which is an ascent of 8 meters by a climbing net which will test our courage (avoidable by a path to the left before the hollow). We will continue through a passage that will force us to pass "on all fours", to continue along a secured path ending with a small peak using the rock and some metal element to the final part of the via ferrata.

Points of interest

- As typical for the style in Spain/France the cable is only for security and should NOT be used for climbing, so of course also the difficulty level is based on that (different style like in the alps etc. where the cable has much more tension and counts as part of the ferrata)
