The View from the Mt. Norquay via ferrata

A couple of weeks ago I said I’d never climbed the Mt. Norquay via ferrata, and probably never would. I’m more convinced than ever of that now, having had another look at my granddaughter’s pictures of it when I used them for reference in painting this.
The via ferrata (iron path) is a relatively new concept in North America, but actually originated over a hundred years ago in Italy during World War I. (Must admit, whenever I hear a phrase including the words “a hundred years ago” I think ‘right, mid-nineteenth century’ and quickly lose track of the point being made.)
