Really loved this trip report; thanks for posting. The photos and details are both exciting and extremely helpful. Looks like you had a great time.

I'm a newbie to climbing, and was shocked to see the rungs embedded in the rock. Is this common? Or is this a specific type of sport climbing?

Awesome.

It’s not sport climbing, it’s via ferrata. It’s very rare in the USA, more common in Europe. There are only four via ferrata lines between the USA and Mexico that I know of. It’s more of an adventure thing then actual climbing, simmilar to aid.
