Granite Via Ferrata Climbing Experience in Buena Vista

Overview
A Via Ferrata, which means “iron way” in Italian, is a method of mountaineering & rock climbing that’s been used in Europe for centuries. Via Ferrata courses use a combination of ladders, rungs, rails, cables and bridges to aid in moving across and up a cliff face. The Iron Way in Idaho Springs is an assisted rock climbing guided tour where guests clip into cables that run along the side of a cliff. They then move along a designated path of iron rungs and bridges to move across, and along the way they will be required to clip in and out of the cable to progress through the course. This is made possible through an advanced internal locking system in the carabiners. Each guest will have 2 carabiners connected to bungee-style lanyards on their harness. The internal locking system makes it impossible to clip out of both at the same time, insuring that climbers are connected to the cable of the course at all times.

Brandon and Crook led our Via Ferrata trip. They were both fun and safety conscious. We had a great time and I would totally recommend going! Just an FYI to the traveler, this Via Ferrata was physically easier than the Cave of the Winds Via Ferrata in Manitou Springs. The safety levels are higher in Buena Vista, but I would trust both without any doubts. Gear was more comfortable in Manitou Springs. Do It!!
