Shorty Town? Via Ferrata Highlights

Via Ferrata - Iron Path

• We built the only modern-style Italian via ferrata in the United States.
• No experience necessary. Unlike rock climbing, there is little technical skill needed to climb a via ferrata. If you can climb a ladder, you can feel the thrill and magnificence of scaling our 450 foot tall cliff.
• Begin your instruction on a 75' practice wall where you will learn to operate your own safety equipment. From there, hike a wandering path through the ponderosa pine forest to the rim of Eye of the Needle?. Over the edge you go on a 75' rim-drop down to a cliff ledge, and then scale the walls during this awe-inspiring experience.
