Via Ferrata is Italian for "Iron Way" and the system has been used in the Alps for more than a century. During World War One, they were used to ferry troups and equipment over mountainous terrain. At Honister, the Victorian Miners used an early and risky version to get home quickly after a day in the dark.
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. Full safety instructions are provided and initially all tours will be guided.
.jpg) 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.
Allowing access to areas not usually easily reached-e.g THE TOP OF FLEETWITH PIKE (2,126 feet high)
