With the uncooperative weather on the last day, most of us drove to Briancon and climbed Via Ferrata. A hiking trail rose 700 feet to the base of the cabled wall. From there it was 1,290 vertical feet and 2 1/2 hours to the top. Of that, maybe 200 vertical near the top was also hiking trail without cables. Andy is even more acrophobic than I, so he and his friend Robert skied Serre Chevalier again instead.
