From Sentinel car-park, hike up the trail toward The Chain Ladders. At the neck between Sentinel and The Escarpment, hike up the small gully to the neck then trend rightward on grass slopes for 50m to the start of the cable.
From the summit head North West toward the Escarpment (opposite side to the side you have just climbed). The descent gully is the obvious gully with a path leading down and back to the Chain Ladder Path.
! WARNING !
This Via Ferrata is designed to be used with the correct equipment. Shock absorbing lanyards are required - DO NOT use climbing slings or static rope without any load absorbing integrations as a fall onto static slings/rope will likely result in serious (spine) injuries.
While this Via Ferrata provides very easy access to some very wild and exposed cliff, it is a BIG mountain, with Big Mountain weather and considerations. Make sure you are prepared for a mountain outing which, once started, will not be straightforward to reverse and may be easier to summit (fail upwards). It will be very unpleasant (possibly life threatening) in a storm. An Electrical Storm would be very serious!
The VF is equipped with a continuous 10mm cable 300m long. The cable is attached in typical Via Ferrata fashion to re-bar or stables glued into the rock, and will necessitate un-clipping and re-clipping your lanyard at each instance; ensure you have 2 lanyards!
This VF is steep in places, and very exposed, be prepared.
Climbing time 2hrs
