Description

Update information

Characteristics

Short via ferrata but nice and good for initiation and practicing rappelling. We will begin to ascend a short wall to reach a ledge and continue ascending the most vertical part. with some lateral steps to finish ascending and finding a small drop that once passed we will have finished the ferrata. We will follow the cable to its end.

Arrival

When we enter Albir on the CV-753 following the signs for Albir beach, we will pass in front of a Consum and then we will take the Natural Park sign to the right and we will go up the road and at the fork we will take Estrella Polar street, until its end.

Approach

From this point we will see a chain in front of us, we will pass it and continue straight towards the ferrata which we will see.

Descent

We have two ways explained on the panel at the end of the cable.

Head to our left and descend along the obvious path that will bring us back to the foot of the ferrata.

Head to our right following the markers, looking for the cable and chain to approach the head of the rappel.

Points of interest

To do the rappel it's recommended to take a rope at least with 50m (or 2 x 25m) to do the rappel complete to the ground, otherwise you have to climb down a bit.

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)
