VIA FERRATA

Stephen Reid on the Via Ferrata de la Tour du Jalouvre, near the Col de la Colombière,
Haute Savoie, France (Alex Reid).

This swanky new guide has over 100 via ferratas; mostly in the Frech Alps but with a few in the Pyrenees and Corsica.

Each route has a clear topo and description with symbols indicating everything from grade to climbing time to exposure rating.
The photography is superb but you may tire of seeing the same two climbing "models" decked out in sponsored gear from Petzl and Beal.

There is an excellent "how to do it" section, with everything you need to know from equipment to techniques.

All in all an excellent new guide. By Jocelyn Chavy & Pjilippe Poulet. Card cover, 143 pages.
