Fouad from Canada
I was on this mountain during a thunderstorm and it was hell. Being the highest peak in the area with a large metal cross on top of it, it attracts lightning. Via ferratas are made of metal. I got struck 4 times while rushing down. Ended up getting saved by a helicopter rescue for 1000s of dollars.
Consult experts before climbing this. The guides told me I should have been on the summit at noon and it would have been much safer.
Overall, don’t get me wrong. It’s a beautiful climb, and very accessible with good weather. Talk to guides though…
