Just another day hanging off the side of West Virginia 🧗 Add the @nrocks_wv Via Ferrata to the top of your bucket list if you love the outdoors and an adrenaline rush!! 

Via ferrata is Italian for “iron road” and is a protected climbing route with fixed cables that hikers are harnessed into allowing them to safely climb rock and mountain faces. The NROCKS via ferrata will have you summiting rock fins, walking across a 150ft suspension bridge, and taking in fall views in every direction. Round trip the adventure is about 1 mile long with 1,000ft of elevation gain!

You must book a guided tour to visit for $150 per person and the minimum age is 13. Gear and training is provided and you don’t need full rock climbing skills to do it but you do need to be comfortable with exposure and have reasonable fitness. There are several points along the route where you can exit if you decide it’s not for you but most people can complete the entire thing! I’m certainly not a skilled climber by any means and I was able to complete it fairly easily! The fixed anchor system of rungs, cable, and a harness helps make it accessible and safe. 

Shout out to our guide Andre for an amazing day! He helped us feel safe and confident at each leg of this via ferrata. He’s a skilled climber and you can follow his his adventures at andre.chiquit.ooo!
