Hiking, Scrambling, Mountaineering, and Climbing

has a dangerous reputation for being "safe". You can only fall once on via Ferrata. Your screamer will only deploy once and then you have to be rescued.

This is what always freaked me out - I once did a huge vertical route near Briancon- it wasn't too technical but had big exposure and I had visions of hanging in mid-air for hours until the rescue came. I don't think I could ever do the routes with wire bridges for this reason
