Originally from the Dolomites in Italy, Via Ferrata literally means "Iron Way".
It is an amazing journey across the imposing Honister Crag using fixed iron footholds and handholds. You will cross zipwires and climb sheer cliff faces safe in the knowledge you are securely joined to the mountain by a strong safety cable! A truly unforgettable experience.
Honisters Via Ferrata will allow the average person on the street the opportunity to go higher and further from the street than they ever imagined was possible!
Honister's Via Ferrata is an adventure climbing system that uses a permanently fixed cable for safety and protection up the rock face of the old miners' route. You are attached to this system by a harness provided by Honister.
While different from traditional rock climbing, the sport of Via Ferrata can give the participant the sensation of being exposed on a rock face and the sense of freedom from ascending into spaces where only eagles fly. Unlike traditional rock climbing, a Via Ferrata participant is not attached to a belay but climbs independently using the installed system of iron rungs and supports.
All equipment will be provided and will be guided by fully qualified staff.
