Note from Robin : Much like the Via Ferrata in Mont Tremblant no climbing experience is required. Safely harnessed to the line and iron rungs (designed to take 10 times the amount of weight you're putting on them), your biggest challenge will be keeping your nerves in check as you climb to the summit of Mount Nimbus.
