<div class="triptitle">Postalmklamm - Ferrations of the Voracious Variety</div>
There I lay amongst the trees, flat against a bed of moss, my phone dead, my clothes soaked through by rain, and with no idea where I was.
<p>
<p>
That morning was like molasses. Rain had killed off any chance of heading back up to the plateau, so the five of us had agreed we'd meet at 10 to prepare for a different adventure: via ferrata at Postalmklamm; an epic traverse along a limestone gorge, then upwards beside a roaring waterfall, and apparently culminating not far from a remote alpine 'cheese factory' (!!!). However, tired as we all were from our hard expo-ing, Alice's hopes of a speedy start to the day were dashed by unfortunate but characteristic levels of faff, especially from Jonty, who almost pulled out of the trip entirely, before declaring that if he was to go, we had to grant him an extra half an hour to get ready.
<p>
<p>
We finally set off just after 11, with a ~50min journey ahead of us. Highlights included:
<p>
<p>
-The toll road up to the via ferrata, which was enforced solely by an old man sat in a chair by the side of the road who, as far as we could tell, sat there all day everyday to personally collect tolls such as ours.
<p>
<p>
-Hannah playing 'Roxanne but it's just Rocks', which, despite the awful phone signal, somehow perfectly sinked every time with the appearance of large cliffs along the road.
<p>
<p>
Toll collector placated and rocks appreciated, we threw our climbing harnesses and via ferrata cowstails on and headed down the path towards the gorge and our voracious ferration. The via ferrata began with a long, rickety bridge, an iron wire suspended above it just low enough that you could clip your cowstails on it, but just high enough to make it awkward. This was followed by some walking/gentle scrambling along wooded slopes, which became steeper and steeper as the ferration began in earnest.
<p>
The first obstacle of note was a pair of tensioned wires which spanned the gorge, maybe some 8m across, complimented by several hanging hemp ropes along their length. You clip into the upper wire, then tightrope walk the lower one whilst using the hemp ropes for stability (you can just hold onto the upper wire instead, but that's much less fun).
