Gorge of El Chorro/El Camino Del Rey, Nov 2010
Something a little different - technically canyoneering I guess, but via a via ferrata! Does require some scrambling and rappelling.
Equipment needed - full technical gear, head lamp or flashlight, enough rope for a 28 metre/100 foot rap (I used a 60 metre climbing rope, bit bouncy on the rap, but I was mainly there for the climbing), via ferrata kit (in a pinch you can make do with two slings and a couple of screwgates, but a proper VF kit is better because it has a shock absorber and VF 'biners), optional quickdraws.
Trying to escape the pre-Christmas SAD that comes from living in an area prone to endless overcast days at 52

Notice how they don't say you can't walk on it, they just ask you nicely not to.
Actually they do request that you not walk on it Sarahlizzy. On the very bottom right somewhat rusted over is;"No Pasar Gracias". I suppose this isn't an official No Tresspassing, but it does thank you for not entering! Oh well...it appears that if they were overly concerned that it would be policed.

I've wanted to do this trip for the past four years and I think I finally have the crew to do it! (plus I can rent gear for free from my work ;] ) Thanks for posting this! Definitely helpful for planning.
