On the summit of Pico Independencia

Climbing Via Ferrata of the Pico Independecia

We heard about this Via Ferrata that is in La Huasteca Canyon so we decided to get a big group together and check it out. It's about a half an hour hike to the base and then the bolted ladder begins. Its around 500 feet of these ladder systems going from one side of the mountain to the other and eventually to the summit. There's a few obstacles to make it more interesting when you get close to the top. I thought those were pretty cool, one of them is three aluminum ladders connected together by wire and as soon as you get on it you can feel the exposure right away. The other obstacle is this walking on ropes going from one peak to the next.
