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.

My friend and I really enjoyed our first Via Ferrata trip on Mount Evans! Our tour guides Spencer and Dylan ensured safety first and kept us laughing the whole way through! Definitely loved the variety and varying levels of difficulty throughout. If I didn’t live so far away I’d be back again soon! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!!! - Kaley from Canada 😊

Spencer and Dylan were fantastic guides. We always felt safe, got challenged throughout the course and had so much fun! Even with the sunburns and scrapes we were laughing the whole time and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Emily and Spencer were great - they were organized, gave clear instructions, and were encouraging but not at all pushy. The course is a lot like a rope course but with horizontal rock traversing, rappelling, and zip-lining thrown in for extra fun, and it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it'd be. Highly recommend!
