L'Escale á Peille iron path - Alpes-Maritimes, France - videoPlay
One of the challenging via ferratas in the Maritime Alps is the L'Escale a Peille. One of its elements is a steel cobweb, where you can feel like you're hanging in the air.

I have a Petzl Tandem double pulley of orange color, which can be used on cables with a maximum diameter of 13 mm. At the end of the L'Escale a Peille via ferrata, there is an optional zip line, where this pulley is suitable.

Although the sliding was a bit too fast here, and one of my companions hit herself slightly when she arrived at the end point.
