Climb Arapahoe Basin’s “Iron Way”, Colorado

Add to My List Check Off

Arapahoe Basin’s “Iron Way” is the highest via ferrata in North America. A via ferrata ("iron way") is a climbing route that follows iron rungs (or handholds) that have been fixed permanently to the rock.A-Basin's via ferrata is a guided-only experience with two options to chose from. The full-day tour ascends 1,200 feet to a 13,000’ summit with stunning, 360-degree views. Or, choose a shorter adventure with the goal of reaching an old mine shaft where you can learn more about the history of the area. Our via ferrata is entirely above treeline and you will be immersed in Colorado's unique high-alpine environment.Harnesses, ropes, and helmets are utilized but previous rock-climbing experience is not needed. We hope the via ferrata provides a gateway to the mountain climbing experience. For some, this will be the greatest high-alpine experience of their lives. For others, it might be the start of a new passion for mountaineering or rock climbing.
