Granite Via Ferrata Climbing Experience in Buena Vista

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.

Today I got to check an item of my bucket list. Our Via Ferrata experience was awesome. TJ and Ellie were excellent guides who instructed us along the way. We felt safe and confident thanks to their positive reinforcement. Thank you for a wonderful morning!!

Hi there, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It's always a good feeling checking items off your bucket list. Let us know if we can help knock anything else off your list like rafting, rock climbing, or fly fishing! We are ready for another adventure when you are.

Brock and Joseph were excellent guides. Liked the hanging off rock faces. Ok to take water with you just need to have a butt pack or something that can be attached. No restroom. Go at Basecamp. Water fountain in lobby. Challenging but kid and 1st time friendly. .highly recommended.

TJ and Joseph were great guides. None of us had ever done anything this challenging before but we all made it and had a great time!
