Via come via ferrata in Rio de Janeiro

First few meters need to be climbed in artificial. This route is possible free at 6° VIIc E3 - see "CEPI em Livre".

The cable was put in 1952 by Centro Excursionista do Pico de Itatiaia which the acronym is the name of the via ferrata route. Later the cable was removed at the start of the climb after some accidents and deaths of non-climbers attempting the route with no equipment. The route has now been bolted and is a sport route - see "CEPI em Livre".
