5.00My son and I went on the climb with Giles and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! What a day! We will definitely do it again! Giles was knowledgeable, fun and encouraging. He taught us how to climb safely and took us to the perfect level of challenge! Amazing experience! I highly recommend it!!
Ferrata group similar to the Anguana ring, but with different landscape.

4.00Given that we had many via ferratas to our credit (30+ my wife, 140+ me), we were curious to see the interpretation of the via ferrata in this state of the USA. Fritz, our guide (you can NOT walk the via ferrata independently, a guide is required), had told us that on a full day you usually did 3/4 via ferrata, but we had no idea of the difficulty as they are divided into 3 categories - green, blue, black, as in skiing - not very indicative; it would be useful to classify the routes according to one of the conventions used in Europe, for better identification. We walked 7, 8 if we also consider the connecting via ferratas, including several blacks and the Crystal Cave, the most difficult according to the map. They are ferratas with very loose cable and almost never taut, little useful for traction if it were not for the numerous cambres, stairs and rungs that characterize all the routes, they are therefore very "ferrata", not particularly long, with some very short stretches in adherence and very climbable stretches. There is a long suspension bridge (Anguane type, but simpler) followed by 2 short Tibetan bridges, quite stable. Let's say that the most difficult can be classified as D (difficult) with a short TD stretch, but very equipped (cambre for both feet and hands). The physical commitment is there, but less than expected. The kit ("lineyard") provided has the "old-style" carabiners with swivel bezel, different from the one we use more evolved (they have it for children), a little uncomfortable in some steps, but nothing much if you have a minimum of experience. OK harnesses (harness) and helmets (helmet). The guide gave us a brief introduction to the via ferratas, but after the first he saw that we were going to be shipped and intervened only to illustrate the most difficult points, which however we walked without great difficulty. In conclusion recommended activity for both beginners and experts, the routes have a good variety of difficulties.
Fun climbing

5.00Great experience with Jake who showed tons of patience and challenged us throughout the day. Routes are for all skill levels and far exceeded all expectations for the day. Jake is a fantastic guide and super punctual helping us get the most out of our time. Don’t visit Jackson without hitting up Via Ferrata.
You have do it!

5.00The Via Ferrata experience was like no other hiking & climbing adventure. The views above Teton Village and Jackson Hole are definitely worth the climb. Next time I’ll probably go for some of the harder routes, my guide Carol made it an easy experience all around.
DO IT!

5.00Amazing experience! Jake was a fantastic guide. I was hesitant to do based on fear of heights. That was not an issue because of the focus required for the next move. Theis would also be a great team building event! Don’t hesitate…just do it!
Amazing!

5.00Great time as a family of 4 (kids aged 15 and 13). Our guide Jake was super knowledgeable and also shared a bunch of good tips for hiking in the area. It was a great way to spend time as a family and also get amazing views. We had varying ability levels and we all enjoyed the experience. Bring water on a hot day - you forget how much you need to drink at altitude!
Amazing
