National GeographicA little like a cross between a ropes course and rock climbing, via ferratas originated in the Italian Alps a century ago—but for travel journalist @bystephanievermillion, this adventure is unfolding in the most unlikely of places. The first urban via ferrata in the U.S. opened for climbers in 2023, and Vermillion's taking a trip outside her comfort zone by braving this 100-foot (30-meter) via ferrata climb. 🧗 Looking to attempt a similar climb of your own?
