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.

Can’t believe we did this! It was awesome! Such a fun, unique experience. Highly recommend it over simply just zip-lining. Dillon and Derek and Luke were awesome guides and made us feel safe and confident—very fun and friendly too. Wish I had pictures to prove what we conquered but didn’t bring my phone on the adventure.

Luke and Colleen were wonderful guides for the Via Ferrata! It was easy for my 18-year old son and a real challenge for me at 55, but we both made it through an exhilarating experience! Both guides were good encouragers and Luke had some great Dad jokes! Not sure about the penguin one though... People new to this activity should know that it's best for people who are in good shape and comfortable with heights. I am so glad we challenged ourselves and couldn't think of a better group to do something like this with than AVA!
