Italian for "by way of iron", via ferrata is a securely installed system of steel rungs and cables in a sheer rock face that allows adventure-seekers to climb over a towering, craggy fin. NROCKS Outdoor Adventures offers this heart-pounding experience, and other thrilling expeditions like zip-lining and cave exploration, all guided by certified climbing experts. Its base location, about 15 miles away from Seneca Rocks (one of the most popular crags on the East Coast) means that climbing enthusiasts can truly get their fix here. And for those not quite ready to reach these heights, NROCKS' facility has several different onsite lodging options, a slackline progression area, and hiking trails that are good for all ages and skill levels.
