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.

I went zip lining with my family and we had tons of fun. Our guides Shawn and Brandon were great and were very funny.

This was our first via ferrata experience and we highly recommend! We had done zip lining, high ropes, and outdoor rock climbing in the past, but this combines all 3 activites into one great afternoon! Our guides, Patrick and Brandon, were very knowledgeable, friendly and safe. They equally prioritized safety and fun, which we greatly appreciated! This activity requires no previous experience or skill - the guides ensure that you are appropriately clipped in during every part. It's not scary as long as you are ok with heights. Requires some climbing, but nothing too strenuous or difficult. Dear Patrick's Mom, Patrick is doing well. Please see the attached photo attesting to this. He was very patient and enthusiastic during our trip! **We did receive a call the day before our trip asking to reschedule because we were the only ones booked for the 3:30 time slot. We were able to accommodate the 1:30 time slot, but recommend having flexible plans on your via ferrata day.
