Book a morning slot
Mornings usually bring calmer sea conditions and steadier wind—better for exposed traverses and bridge crossings.
Wear sticky-soled shoes
Approach and cliff rungs are limestone and can be slick from spray; grippy footwear improves safety and confidence.
Stay hydrated and fueled
Bring at least 1–1.5 liters of water and a compact snack—the route is 3–4 hours including approach and safety brief.
Listen to clipping protocol
Practice connecting and disconnecting lanyards during the safety briefing—proper clipping is the route’s safety backbone.
Approach shoes or light mountaineering shoes
Sticky soles and ankle support help on wet limestone and the rocky approach.
Light windproof jacket
Protects against sea spray and sudden coastal gusts during the climb.

Via ferrata lanyard with energy absorber (if renting not provided)
