Full description

Our granite course at our Buena Vista outpost is just one hour from Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen and begins with a thrilling zipline to your starting point! You will ascend crags and rappel above the Arkansas River Valley, gaining magnificent views of the 14000+ foot Collegiate Peaks throughout the entire course. You will traverse across iron rungs, bars, and ladders built into the granite cliffside, high above the Arkansas River Valley. This course is a more exposed, edgier rendition of AVA’s Mount Evans Via Ferrata in Idaho Springs and one that will have your heart pumping as you explore the mountaintops of the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Guests clip in and out of cables that run along the side of a cliff, moving along a designated path of iron rungs and bridges. Our course utilizes an internal locking system with 2 carabiners that make it impossible to clip out of both at the same time, ensuring that climbers always remain connected to the course.

Everything about this experience was EXCELLENT! Too scared to try? DO IT ANYWAYS! I'm telling you, My mom was scared to DEATH... But by the end because of our amazing guides, she was SO happy she did it. Always choose to do self elected hard things, we CAN do them!! I promise you. Kyle and Johan were hilarious and made the experience not only super fun, but easy for anyone to understand!! Now, to sign off with a 2012 catch phrase, #YOLO! Please enjoy this picture of our silly guides photo bombing my camera when I handed it to them for a group photo. Thanks guys! -Missy & Nanc
