The write-up

I return to Rax. But this time for the icons via ferrata.

Around 1 hr of approaching and you arrive at the starting point. This one climbs through steep and exposed terrain, vertical ladders, secured rock passages and increasingly open views across the valley.

The most technical part is the narrow, steep rock chimney which is often wet and highly slippery.
