I really like that, from the jaunty foot over the edge at the start to poking the camera jovially through gaping holes in the concrete. I especially like the part where the path has crumbled away to practically nothing :D

*gulp*
Would that fall under the category of Via ferreta, It may be flat, but you have got to be insane to go along there without being clipped onto that wire attached to the wall!

I'm not sure if that would count as a via ferrata route. VF routes generally require you to climb mainly on the rock & I've never seen a walkway provided. Although many VF routes use things like bridges, ladders, stemples & metal spokes to stand on, the artifical elements are usually brief and just there to get you over a short difficulty. Most VFs are definitely more technical than that route looks.

and another very similar video - the only bit extra is at 2min28 and 5min 45 where the camera man does some hella scarry balancing to get past some missing concrete sections
