Via Ferrata

Colin had the awesome experience last weekend of Via Ferrata with two other couples from school.  I hated leaving him as a 5th wheel but it cost about $80 US so we decided paying for just one was a better choice at this point.  Plus Colin had left me get away to Dubai so this was a bit of repayment.  A day on his own in the great outdoors with friends, and no Aberly.  As I write this I am thinking how awesome that sounds.  This has been a very grumpy day for Aberly and she is currently fussing and crying from bed, overtired and fighting going to bed.

Via Feratta is a guided rock climbing expedition with a lot of zip lines.  The course is set.  You are totally strapped in the entire time and follow a course of cable and hand holds.  You are up high in a canyon.  Sounds like Andrew's cup of tea and my mother's worst nightmare of where to be.  Hahaha.

Colin had a fantastic time.  I am so glad he got to go. Here are some pictures he took of the others ahead of him a few we got from our friend's camera.

Our great friends Dan and Laura are the featured subjects of this picture but you get to see a nice shot of Colin completing his pass in the background.
