For whom is the ferrata suitable?

Ferrata climbing is only for experienced ferratists equipped with the proper ferrata equipment. Inexperienced climbers can only do the ferrata while accompanied by an experienced ferratist, who, however, bears personal responsibility for them during the climb. Unaccompanied persons under the age of 15 are not allowed on the ferrata. The ferrata includes sections that can be hazardous for people under 15 and inexperienced individuals.

Mandatory equipment

Mandatory equipment for the ferrata consists of a climbing helmet, seated harness (ferrata seat), chest harness, lanyard, ferrata brakes. Gloves, dynamic rope and, most importantly, high-quality sturdy shoes are recommended. If you do not have ferrata equipment, you can use the Surfsport rental on the left bank of the river.

Equipment rental

Surfsport rental is located across the Vltava River, just opposite the ferrata with the possibility to rent both complete and partial ferrata equipment. Prices are indicated on the rental price list. In low season, it is possible to make an appointment by phone.

Ferrata with instructor

If you are new to ferrata climbing, you can book an instructor who will walk you through and teach you the dos and don’ts of safe climbing. The climbing instructor is available by prior telephone or e-mail appointment. Contact: Hana Benešová, UIMLA mountain guide, tel. 724 510 310, info@zivothorskepruvodkyne.cz.
