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. Arby 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. Let's hope that the number stays at 4. How can you call that an adventure? There are ladders up the whole damn mountain! And "similar to aid?" You have obviously never been aid climbing my friend. If they Via Ferrata El Cap I would tourist in a hearbeat.
