Metal Steps KMC

its odd.
looking at Raumer's website it seems their version is both stainless and galvanised perhaps to try to make them dull matt grey rather than too shiny

I assume they are actual via ferrata staples not just random bits of rebar and may well be stainless ?
if so then we'd not need to worry about them forming streaks of rust down the walls

I thought most via ferrata staples _were_ just bent bits of rebar... Stainless are available but would bankrupt many via ferrata installers, I suspect!

they may have been once, but all the ones i've seen over the last 5 years conform to standards

My understanding is that the staples in KMC were home made from standard rebar and painted before installation.
