The most fascinating part of the journey is navigating two ropes; one at the bottom for stepping on and another at the top to grip with our hands. It's not as daunting as it might appear, and it's even enjoyable compared to the sharp rocks and the constant demand of balancing with your legs.
Leg fatigue is a reality, and it's essential to keep them straight whenever possible. Any opportunity to stand fully upright is a blessing, even if it means balancing between two ropes — one beneath your feet and the other above your head.
Journeying through the Ofarim Via Ferrata is a remarkable adventure, both challenging and rewarding. This path, characterised by its steep ascents and rocky terrains, presents a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and thrill of Israel's great outdoors. Starting with a swift climb, you quickly gain height, navigating overhangs with the support of a fixed cable and using precise footwork. A notable feature is crossing dual lines – one underfoot and the other overhead – an exhilarating experience that contrasts with the sharp rocks and constant balancing. The final third of the route eases slightly, offering inclined sections and restful ledges. Conquering the Ofarim Via Ferrata is a test of endurance, resilience, and technical skill, all set against the stunning backdrop of Israel's diverse landscape.
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
