Mount Evans Via Ferrata Climbing Experience in Idaho Springs

Mount Evans Via Ferrata Climbing Experience in Idaho Springs

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.

The Mount Evans via ferrata experience was absolutely amazing! It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone but I was able to complete all of the adventures due to the support of the well trained staff and my friends. It was an exciting and fun filled afternoon. Arlin and Clay were amazing guides! They were very professional and extremely patient with all of our questions. They made sure we felt informed and safe but also had the ability to keep things light to cut the tension. It was an awesome experience because of them! 4 women over the age of 55 repelling down a mountain is quite a sight!

Best spontaneous experience I could have asked for on a random Saturday. I love being one with the nature! Our guides were super helpful as well. They were amazing.

I had never heard of the Via Ferrata before! I was on a fourth of July trip with all of my girlfriends and this was by far the highlight of our vacation. The Via Ferrata was a thrill seeking and adventurous way to connect with the mountains and those that were apart of the journey. It was a great mix of ziplining and climbing. Although I sometimes have a fear of heights, the Via guides made me feel safe and pushed me to my fullest potential. Our guides Alex Durham and Jarad were so positive throughout the course. They made it much more enjoyable! My friends and I are already planning a trip to go back! I definitely recommend trying this out! You won't forget it. Not only are you able to see a stunning view of the mountains, but you get to get to explore the great outdoors with awesome company too! :)
