Arapahoe Basin wants to build a second “via ferrata” climbing route

The area’s first via ferrata, which opened in 2021, is considered one of the most challenging in the U.S.

The existing via ferrata climbing route at Arapahoe Basin opened the summer of 2021 on the ski area's spectacular East Wall and is considered one of the most challenging in the U.S. Arapahoe Basin is proposing a second one that would be suitable for guests with less ambitious adventure goals.
