Via Ferrata Mountain Climbing

Over the past few months, Jason has taken up rock climbing with some friends. It is called via ferrata climbing and consists of a mountain route containing cables, bridges, and ladders. You basically have a harness and work your way up a cable so you are strapped in at all times. You are constantly hooking and unhooking yourself (you always stay hooked in, as you have two hooks) to move along the trail.

Tait (Sego's husband) introduced this type of climbing to Jason. So on Sunday, the five of us (including their baby) headed out so us girls could finally have a go at it. While Sego and Tait climbed, we watched baby Leo. And then it was our turn.

I was so excited to finally get to try it and I loved it! I am very glad that I am not afraid of heights, as you are just hanging off the side of the mountain, praying that the cable is secure.

Here are some pictures of our day:

 I can't wait to go again! The views were amazing!! :)
