via ferrat

Explanation:
A Via Ferrata is a suspended metal bridge that will be attached to the mountain, it is totally secured yet the hiker is sure to get plenty of thrills from it. It's like walking on a metal grid bridge, except you are hundred of meters high and only attached to the rock face via a figure of eight and a rope.
