I was in Les Diablerets as I am one of the volunteers at the FIFAD film festival.\u00c2\u00a0I turned up three hours before I was needed and as I had all my climbing gear, except the pulley for the tyrollean in the car I drive I was able to put on my climbing gear and go for an individual climb of the Via Ferrata. The weather was nice, the temperature was comfortable and the via ferrata was quiet. Aside from two guys climbing one of the climbing routes I was alone. I prefer to climb with others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3232\" style=\"width: 576px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3232\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784-576x1024.jpg?resize=576%2C1024\" alt=\"Via Ferrata de La Cascade\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?resize=768%2C1366&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?resize=863%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 863w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?resize=1151%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1151w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?resize=150%2C267&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1060784.jpg?w=1439&amp;ssl=1 1439w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via Ferrata de La Cascade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Via ferrata alone are fun because you go at your speed.
