just to get it right, you are suggesting to deprecate highway=via_ferrata in favor of highway=scramble?

AFAIK climbing routes aren’t currently tagged as highways, why would we want to have them in the same category as hiking paths?

Is a torch qualifying for special equipment? E.g. paths in caves that aren’t lit?

What kind of shoes would you consider special equipment?

Is special equipment and extraordinary courage a requirement that is relative to local habits or is it to be seen on a global level?
