One of the Via Ferrata exceptions - When it is allowed to use the resting system for progression

On Via Ferrata you need to rest but at times the resting system might be misused and this might expose you to great danger. It is why for progression you should never aid yourself with the resting system other than certain exceptions. In this video, we discuss one of these exceptions!
