This is my friend Sabine ascending the via ferrata Tridentina, Dolomites Mountains (Italian Alps).

The climbing route involves ascending more than 2,500 feet (750m) of almost vertical cliff, equipped with cables and occasional metal ladders or steps.

Via Ferratas are climbing routes permanently equipped with a safety cable. For more info about via ferrata, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_ferrata.
