Via Ferrata is Italian for ‘Iron Road’. It is a route up a mountain using pre-installed ladder rungs and cables. Climbers attached to the cable using specially designed Via Ferrata Lanyards. Via Ferrata increases the accessiblity to the higher more vertical worlds that are normally only accessible to climbers.

WOW! What an incredible experience we had with Girth Hitch Guiding. Our guide Ethan took such good care of us and ensured we were always comfortable in the process of the via ferrata. Such a great way to see amazing views, be stretched physically, mentally all the while making unique lifetime experiences. Thank you to Girth Hitch Guiding for helping make our day one to remember and sharing in a special day.
