Via Ferrata in Chamonix 17-Feb-2011 At 2:21:43 PM ozone

Message

Heading to Chamonix in a couple of weeks and have some questions. Plan on doing some Via Ferrata and know little about it. What gear do you need, what would it be like in late march weather-wise, do I need crampons? Rope? What are the best routes to do for someone who climbs a lot but never in snow/ice?
Alternatively, what's the best options for a tight ass blue mountains climber who's never done much snow/ice stuff before but is keen as to do something rad while I'm there?
Best camping spots in Chamonix on the cheap?
Any info would be greatly appreciated, even general hints and tips on chamonix in general. This has become quite broad now.
Cheers
