1200' via ferrata to a polycarbonate hanging hotel room with dinner and wine, then descend via zip lines. $325 USD
Can't wait until Trump builds these "hotel rooms" on El Cap. $900/night at least!

Complete with airline style food and a highway underneath!
I wonder if the via ferrata style rungs might eventually get installed on Half Dome. Would reduce the slip factor, and might stand up to winter snow/ice?

If this is in the Sacred Valley, it certainly begs the question "Is nothing sacred anymore?"
Nose to a-hole Everest style line-ups.
Wine included. And group photos.
My neighbour's daughter made a zip-line for her dolls.
All this excitement for only US$325-, or US$650- per couple. That's about $5,000-Cdn. And several months of local Peruvian wages.
This summer there will be cruise ships crossing the North West Passage for the first time. A mere 15Gs. For those tourists who have already done Everest, and the north and south poles.
Can we describe this $325- nonsense as a cheap thrill?
While we will no doubt see this pandering on private land in NA, I hope that we can keep it off public lands. I hope....
