Watch our other West Virginia vlogs: th-cam.com/play/PLZKRTK1yCEM5a4PAiayjCpGAkRdeCeb5G.html Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. During this adventure we tried to stay at least 6 ft from others in our group (minus Liz, who we had been staying with and who we knew was healthy), but when not possible, we would cover our face with our buffs. Our guide also wore his buff when close to us climbing and made sure we all felt safe and comfortable during the entire experience. Masks were also worn when going into the restaurant and when walking around the restaurant.
We just did this yesterday! Found your video because I was looking for something we could show our friends because the photos we took did not even come close to doing justice to how terrifying it was haha. Coming around the corner of the notch was the one and only time I ALMOST cried. Can't believe I did it! I did pass on the headwall at the end though, and after seeing your video of looking down from there, I'm so glad I did!
Bravo y’all and greetings from Hewitt Texas. I was raised in the Clarksburg, WV area and me and my very best friend played all over those rocks at Seneca in the 70’s. We lost my friend last year so watching you guys do this really shot me back to the best of times. Great memories! Thank you for sharing and also for showcasing the best of Almost Heaven West Virginia. I’ve now been here in Texas for 36 years and raised 3 wonderful Daughters in the great lone star. I’ll always miss those majestic hills and valleys back home. God bless y’all! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words about the video Scott! We are sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. West Virginia is a gorgeous state! We are from Texas as well and loved how scenic WV is!
The spine is composed of the Tuscaroras Quartzite, a magnificent and tough as nails rock, you'll find at Senaca Rocks. Spruce Knob is just marvelous, as is Spruce Knob Lake, the Sinks of Gandy Creek, and the whole of Germany Valley . Y'all done good! Please consider making the Mountain State yer home!
Again, your channel has provided another incredible journey! Best drone footage, ever! That climb gave me chills up and down my spine! I’m here on terra firma, sipping a cup of java, and loving every minute of this video.
So glad you enjoyed this crazy adventure! I am so happy the guide was all for us droning and even told us when would be good times. Some of our favorite footage ever!
This was a great nail biting episode. I agree with Adam, looking down to get your footing for the climb down had to be stressful. That suspension bridge, looked just as challenging though 😬. What a great accomplishment for all of you.
My knees were shaking and I almost fell out of my recliner just watching that climb... lol. ... I’m about to be 68 yrs old and my wife and I just bought a Class A Tiffin Coach... We live in Idaho, but hope to see y’all on the road someday... Awesome videos ! Stay Safe & God Bless...
Another great one, I didn't see one mountain goat so all I can deduce is you guys go where mountain goats fear! Wonderful vlog! Thank you, stat healthy and safe.
Thank you. This weekend my family did the hiked up to Seneca Rock, visited the two waterfalls at Blackwater State Park, took a short hiked to Lindy Point overlook, ate lunch at Thomas and checked out Douglas falls, explored Bear Rocks, drove up to Spruce Knob and ate at the Gateway Restaurant. And the highlight of our weekend trip was doing the Via Ferrata.
My family and I did this NRocks activity today and it was absolutely fabulous! Thanks so much for creating this video allowing us to discover this fantastic adventure!
WOW!!! This was so freaking scary, amazing, and beautiful all at the same time! I was on the edge of my seat! The drone footage was amazing...really put it all into perspective! Amazing stuff, you guys continue to crush it!!!
OH MY GOODNESS!! this was insane. I had my heart on my throat when you guys crossed that bridge, you had to look down to make sure you actually put your foot on the wood plank so hats of to you for doing that and taking us along this thrilling ride of a vídeo. Great video!😁
We spent summers in WV for the past 20 years until we sold our cabin. Watching you go to all the places we've been too makes me long to go back. Florida is where we live and it's a miserable swamp compared to "Almost Heaven".
@@AdventuresofAplusK oh jeeze.... well.... Lost River, (where our former cabin is) Of course Tucker County (Davis/Thomas, Blackwater Falls) Pocahontas County, Greeenbriar, Shepherdstown, and on and on. LOL!
Oh my gosh guys that was the most epicly nerve wracking climb! I felt totally nauseous the whole way. But well done, I salute you for facing your fears!!
Thanks for showing the world my state without any negative stuff whatsoever. Your videos were amazing. When you were in Fayetteville you guys could have seen a dozen other cool things in about an hour in any direction.
We loved West Virginia! We truly believe it’s one of the best hidden gems in the US! The Fayetteville area was incredible, we definitely hope to spend more time there next time!
@@AdventuresofAplusK When you are in Fayetteville you are close to Hawks Nest, Cathedral Falls and Kanawha Falls. Thats 3 spots within a few miles from one another 20 min away. And about an hour south Sandstone Falls of the New River
You guys!!! This. Was. Epic!!! We just discovered the whole Via Ferrata thing the other week when we watched Eat, See, RV climb one in Colorado, and we were SUPER excited to see that you were doing one too! The views from our perspective were amazing, I can't even imagine what it was like for you guys. Great job capturing some epic drone shots Adam, and kudos to both of you for taking on that challenge! Via Ferrata's are definitely on our bucket list now, and your West Virginia series has us hoping we get to visit out there sometime in the near future! You guys ROCK! ❤ Aaron & Nicole
Thank you guys so much!!! ❤️ This was one of the most fun and coolest experiences we have ever had! It’s scary at first, but then becomes a fun challenge. We hope y’all get to do one!
Wow! Amazing! Great job conquering your fears, and amazing job capturing it on video. The drone shots really added to appreciate the perspective. Bravo!
That was awesome! If you guys ever make it back through West Virginia, you HAVE to try white water rafting the Upper Gauley. Such an experience! Terrifying... but fun! :)
@@AdventuresofAplusK Understandable! Rapids are my biggest fear and I got the full-on experience of falling out while going over a waterfall lol! Will never forget it and I totally plan to give Ricky that same experience some day! LOL A cool area, either way- enjoy!!! - Chris
I didn't realize this was from last year! I said "Nope, nope,nope,nope nope and really nope on the bridge and spine. Soooo impressed with your gutsy climb! Beehive and Precipice will be nothing for you in Acadia. The views were spectacular.
Hahahah this is still one of my favorite things we have ever done! Can’t wait to crush precipice! Picking that one over beehive because we hear it’s harder haha
Omg, we had sweaty palms at lunch watching you guys climb those walls. WHOAH! 😮 Totally stunning views from the drone of the top of the spine. Go Adam & Kathryn for conquering your fears! ⛰️
Loved the video. You were in one of our favorite parts of West Virginia. We love the Gateway restaurant and try to plan our travels so that we'll be in the vicinity during lunch or dinner. Their pies are amazing.
@@AdventuresofAplusK I was born in WV and moved to AR in 2005 (wifes state). I have told others it took me finding a wife from AR to get her to move to WV after marriage. States are very similar. Beautiful, remote and pockets of change and times past.
We agree! We loved how much nature there is in both states and how there aren't really any HUGE cities and lots of cool smaller towns with a lot of charm.
@@AdventuresofAplusK If you can go to WV for Gauley Fest and to AR for the Arkansas Canoe Club (ACC) School of Whitewater Paddling (usually in May). Their are TX chapters of the ACC.
Wow! You are really living up to your name "AVENTURES of A&K" not just travel. I never knew this sort of thing existed. Another fabulous video. Thanks 🥰
I had a hard time just watching y'all do this. Admire your fearlessness but I'm ready for y'all to get back in your van. Can you guess I have a fear of heights? Beautiful scenery so thank you for sharing.
Wow! We'll have to consider this experience when we visit West Virginia. I LOVE the drone shots that you have of the bridge! Not sure how you pulled off carrying a drone with you up that iron path. I think that going down would be more challenging than going up because you have to always look down to find your footing. Great work! Love your channel and videos!!!
Thank you so much! We couldn’t recommend this experience more! The drone shots were thankfully not too scary to get. Our guide showed us two spots where we could safely fly it, which we really appreciated!
Just learned what Via Ferrata is and now I am obsessed and can't stop thinking about it. I live in Kentucky and will be doing this sometime soon!!! This route looks incredible!
Good job guys!!! We live near by and went for the first time this summer and went again on Oct. 9th and convinced some friends to come along for the adventure. Thanks for show casing our beautiful state in your video!!!!! Happy adventuring!!
Wow this is a adventure I never thought of doing. It looks a bit scary but I do understand all the safety measures that come along with it. It looks awesome when you do make it to the top. Nice sharing 👍👍
So amazing you both conquered your fears. I was able to be brave enough to hike the High Line in Glacier National Park but there is no way I could do this! My heart was pounding just watching this!!!!
It was pretty insane! We felt super safe with the leashes hooking us up to the wires, but even though we knew we were attached, some of the climbs made us super nervous!
It's always nice to challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone! Great to see the journey :) I feel like my forearms would be sore after that because I would be holding on so hard. The bridge was so beautiful
SUPREME props to you guys. I think Im a tough guy, but you I dont have the kahunas to do what you guys did. I almost had a mini anxiety attack just watching this video...... Extra props to the dude, he reminded me in the sense that I dont do heights. And I can see that he was visibly uncomfortable, and he beasted through that shit. Glad yall made it down safely.
Oh my!! I don't think I would be able to to this hike at all.. Whenever you would look down I would gasp haha. Regardless, this was such a beautiful vlog and the drone footage was INCREDIBLE AND BREATHTAKING. I am looking forward to watch your next adventures.
We just recieved or Via Ferrata gear from Black Diamond today in the mail. Super excited to hit up Colorado in October. Thanks for the video, I think it's going to be awesome!
This looks exhilarating!! You can really grasp how high up y'all are around 10:25. You looked high up while on the bridge, and then at that mark the bridge looks tiny! We will have to try this one day!
Omg I was shaking watching this wow looks sooooo scary especially the bridge when Kathryn got too the top and said she felt nauseous I was like wow so fun but so scary
Been waiting to watch this all day finally got it on my new 4K tv You guys my heart was in my mouth the whole time ! 18 mins felt like 5 secs went so quick , hope your mother dosnt see it 🙈 great job you were like mountaineering pros 👌 well impressed , no money in the world could pay me to do that , looked great fun though 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Hahahahaha my mom just commented and her comment made me LOL! So pumped you watched this on a 4K TV! Those drone shots Adam got deserve the big screen 🙌🏼🙌🏼
It's official... you guys are definitely influences (but the good kind... I promise!) Way back when I first watched this video, I immediately wanted to do a via ferrata - even looked into a trip to Italy over October Half Term (before realising how nuts the weather would be!) but at the end of the summer, I did the Honister Slate Mine via ferrata in the Lake District and loved it. Thought I'd let you guys know ❤️
Hahahah we hate the word influencers, BUT we will take it when it means influencing others to get outdoors or try new experiences! Will you have a video from yours? We would love to see it...that via ferrata looks INSANE and is being added to the list!
That was fascinating. I've hiked up the Seneca Rocks trail and up the rocks (past the sign that tells you not to) to the summit, but I would not like to do what you did. I love West Virginia and plan to do some backpacking at Dolly Sods as soon as it gets cooler. Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure.
Hahahahah confession: I am TERRIFIED of treadmills (fell on a moving one as a kid and gashed up my knees) and I have to hold on the entire time I use them 🤣🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK That would traumatize me, no wonder you don't like them! I am not a fan of cliffs (kids think it's hysterical when we are doing something like driving the coastal highway). There is no way I would have made it on your adventure, LOL!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I’ve lived here for 25 years (my whole life) and you gave ME ideas of things to do this fall and next summer. I live in Martinsburg, WV which is kind of close to Harpers Ferry and there is nothing to do here and has a bad reputation lol people usually head to VA or MD to do things
WOW ! You guys ROCK !! (climb lol). At our Outdoor School we had a climbing wall and high ropes course for our 6-12 year old students. While no where near what you all did, for the kids overcoming their fears and pushing themselves was such an impactful experience. Being a part of facilitating that was so rewarding. So proud of both of you. The footage mad me feel I was right there with you (on my comfy couch lol). It is moments like this where you conquer something you wouldn't imagine doing and then wonder...well what's next
I’m slowly becoming more of a dare devil lol! My mom is probably not thrilled 🤣🤣 It is so fun to push yourself (safely of course) and prove to yourself that you’re stronger both mentally and physically than you think! 💪🏼

West Virginia was one of the best surprises we have had in the US! Such a gorgeous state, not busy feeling, and so much to do!
We live a laid-back and beautiful existence here in Almost Heaven, West Virginia.
PHENOMENAL... I had to quit eating my breakfast as I watched this epic adventure. Way to go 👏. Drone shots were incredible.
Hahahaha love it! Thank you so much!
Who knew West Virginia had so much crazy nature!

I’m so proud of how beautiful my home state is. Almost heaven indeed
It’s gorgeous! 😍
Lived in West Virginia for 49 years and was at Dolly Sods last weekend , and you are showing me things that I didn’t know about ! Thanks !
Oh wow, that is awesome to hear! We love even getting to share something new with locals! 🙌🏼

Even though we felt totally safe, we felt totally terrified! 😬😅
So glad you all enjoyed WV!
We loved it!!!
This was a great nail biting episode. I agree with Adam, looking down to get your footing for the climb down had to be stressful. That suspension bridge, looked just as challenging though 😬. What a great accomplishment for all of you.
That bridge required nice slow and steady steps. I kept getting scary visions of my foot slipping through 😬😱

This comment made me LOL! 🤣🤣 Thank you for virtually climbing with us! Where in Idaho are you? We LOVE Idaho!
Adventures of A plus K We’re in Meridian which is part of the Treasure Valley or Boise area...
We love Boise!
That looks like a lot of fun. I will share this video with all of my friends. Most of them will want to try that via ferrata out. Great video! 👍
Ah nice, we hope they enjoy it! 🤗
OMG!! I was praying 🙏🏻 for y’all!! That made me so nervous just watching! I could not do that but oh what a view!
The views made it sooo worth it!
Wow guys. My palms were sweating just watching some of those scenes. Epic drone shots to boot! Great video as usual.
Thank you so much Jake! We apologize for sweaty palms! 😉
Great job guys. Via’s are so much fun. I’m 61 and my 17 yo grandson and I just did the Ouray Colorado Via. What an adrenaline rush.
That one looks CRAZY!!! We walked by that and it looked so scary!
I was at this town some 40 years ago in my early 20's and loved the history and gorgeous views. Still have lovely pics from the area.
This video was incredible and has given me a reason to visit West Virginia!
This is still one of our favorite experiences ever!!
Another great one, I didn't see one mountain goat so all I can deduce is you guys go where mountain goats fear! Wonderful vlog!
Thank you, stat healthy and safe.
Hahahaha braver than a mountain goat! 😜
I think they were the mountain goats! haha
Hahahah very true! 🤣
3 years after the fact this vlog gave me chills! What an incredible experience it must have been.
Awesome! Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much Brad! This was such a crazy day and I’m so glad we were able to document it!
that drone footage was just over the top awesome!

Giving us new ideas for next time!
Oh my gosh guys that was the most epicly nerve wracking climb! I felt totally nauseous the whole way. But well done, I salute you for facing your fears!!
Hahahah I felt so nauseous too! 🤣🙈 Thank you so much!
they told the story so well that it had us all on the edges of our seats!
That means a lot! Filming this was definitely tricky and we had no idea if any of the shots turned out 😅
Thanks for showing the world my state without any negative stuff whatsoever. Your videos were amazing. When you were in Fayetteville you guys could have seen a dozen other cool things in about an hour in any direction.
We loved West Virginia! We truly believe it’s one of the best hidden gems in the US! The Fayetteville area was incredible, we definitely hope to spend more time there next time!
@@AdventuresofAplusK When you are in Fayetteville you are close to Hawks Nest, Cathedral Falls and Kanawha Falls. Thats 3 spots within a few miles from one another 20 min away. And about an hour south Sandstone Falls of the New River

Thank you so much! It was an incredible experience and so pumped we were able to share it!
Ahh that looks like so much fun! My hubs Kevin has wanted to do a Via Ferrata forever, maybe I'll have to take him out to WV to tackle this one
Yesss! Do it! I hear CO has some cool ones too!
That was awesome! If you guys ever make it back through West Virginia, you HAVE to try white water rafting the Upper Gauley. Such an experience! Terrifying... but fun! :)
Gahhh we want to so badly! We are in that area today, but our wallet needed a break after the Via Ferrata cost lol! Next time for sure!

Hahahah yes! Make him experience it too! 😜 I’ve gone twice when I was a kid, but Adam hasn’t, so its in the list!
Awesome job guys!!! Thanks for sharing. Honestly, I was getting a bit of vertigo just watching the climb. Keep Living your Adventure!
Thank you Thomas! We were definitely a bit queasy at times doing this! 🤣😅
Amazing footage guys! Thank you so much for sharing this trip!
Thanks Brian! We had SO much fun on this Via Ferrata!

That last wall was a doozy!!! So glad we did it, 100% worth the nerves!
Loved the video. You were in one of our favorite parts of West Virginia. We love the Gateway restaurant and try to plan our travels so that we'll be in the vicinity during lunch or dinner. Their pies are amazing.
The pie was sooooo good! 😋😋
SO glad you got to visit my beautiful state. I live very close to this area and it's beautiful
It is absolutely gorgeous there! 😍
Im taking my son and this video makes me so excited. Thanks guys. This is awesome.
It’s going to be a ton of fun! We hope you have a great time!
Wow!! Love the drone shots! What an experience, great job!
Adam crushed it with those drone shots! Thank you so much!
From the top or on the ground at the bottom, Seneca Rocks is an amazingly beautiful place to visit.
So stunning! Love the jagged rocks!
The drone footage was spectacular. I never new West Virginia was so beautiful.
We didn’t either! It’s such a gorgeous state with so much nature. It’s a hidden gem!
Amazing views! Worth the hike! I really liked the drone footage.
The drone footage is some of our favorite of all time! Thank you so much for watching!
My wife and I were at Seneca Rocks last year. My home state is WV and now in AR. WV and AR are two states that surprise travelers.
Those were our two best surprises this year!

Thank you so much!
you guys are amazing! I’m shaking just watching this!
WV is really beautiful. Good for you! I would have waited at the bottom🤣
It is sooo gorgeous, we had no idea! 😍 And everyone needs a cheerleader at the bottom too! 😉
A true adventure!! even more than a traditional adventure 😃
It was exhilarating!
Wow! You are really living up to your name "AVENTURES of A&K" not just travel. I never knew this sort of thing existed. Another fabulous video. Thanks 🥰
The via ferrata was one of our favorite things we've ever done!
I had a hard time just watching y'all do this. Admire your fearlessness but I'm ready for y'all to get back in your van. Can you guess I have a fear of heights? Beautiful scenery so thank you for sharing.
It definitely isn't for everyone!

Hahaha thank you Kenneth! ❤️❤️
Really enjoyed this episode, thank you so much. You’re so cute together! 🥰
Thanks and thanks for watching!
My hands are so sweaty just by watching this video, but it looks great
Hahaha ours were too! 😅
Just learned what Via Ferrata is and now I am obsessed and can't stop thinking about it. I live in Kentucky and will be doing this sometime soon!!! This route looks incredible!
Via Ferratas are so cool! We'd love to do more!
Good job guys!!! We live near by and went for the first time this summer and went again on Oct. 9th and convinced some friends to come along for the adventure.
Thanks for show casing our beautiful state in your video!!!!!
Happy adventuring!!
That is so awesome! We missed ya by just 4 days! Such a crazy activity and we are really wanting to more in the future!
Props to y’all for doing that climb!! That looked....yeah pretty scary!
Hahahah definitely scary! My legs were shaking so badly! 🤣
WOW! Had no idea we had mountains like that in the states. The drone footage was amazing!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Wow this is a adventure I never thought of doing. It looks a bit scary but I do understand all the safety measures that come along with it. It looks awesome when you do make it to the top. Nice sharing 👍👍
It was an absolute blast! Even with the fear!
You guys are awesome! Truly an adventure!
Thank you Diana! It’s something we will never forget!
Absolutely amazing video!!
Thank you so much Kim!
Wow, wow, wow! That looked terrifying but absolutely amazing!!
It absolutely was both lol!
Great video!! I’m glad you shared this experience with us because I don’t think I would have it in me to do that.
Hahah you can do it!!! It was an absolute blast!
So amazing you both conquered your fears. I was able to be brave enough to hike the High Line in Glacier National Park but there is no way I could do this! My heart was pounding just watching this!!!!

We were definitely sore the next day! That last part up to the top required a bit of upper body strength too!
Wow, I'm impressed!! how awesome!! I would do the bridge but that other stuff no freaking way. awesome video
It was soooo much fun! Really got the adrenaline pumping!
SUPREME props to you guys. I think Im a tough guy, but you I dont have the kahunas to do what you guys did. I almost had a mini anxiety attack just watching this video...... Extra props to the dude, he reminded me in the sense that I dont do heights. And I can see that he was visibly uncomfortable, and he beasted through that shit. Glad yall made it down safely.
This was so much fun! It was scary at first, but super safe and so rewarding!
Amazing episode... amazing view from top of the rock! More of these contents please :-)
Thank you! And this will probably be our most extreme adventure for a while haha. Our wallet and nerves can’t take too much of it 😜
Um this is absolutely nuts!! I was terrified just watching it. Yikessss!
So happy that you have enjoyed my State. Wild and Wonderful 💙💛
It's a gorgeous place!
This looks like so much fun!
Such a blast! Even as I was shaking the entire time haha
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
It was a lot easier just watching you do this from the comfort of my cool room sipping some ice tea 😊
haha that's a great way to experience it! We're glad we could do the legwork for ya! Thanks for watching!
Looked like an awesome adventure! Views from the bridge look great!
The bridge was so dang fun! 🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK you guys need to stop having fun 😉
Hahaha don’t worry, we have plenty of not fun 🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK i know whenever I post stuff it doesn't show how I go crazy all day to get all the cool footage 😎
Hahaha very true! Or the many days we spend editing and working 😅
Oh my!! I don't think I would be able to to this hike at all.. Whenever you would look down I would gasp haha. Regardless, this was such a beautiful vlog and the drone footage was INCREDIBLE AND BREATHTAKING. I am looking forward to watch your next adventures.
Thank you so much Tati! It was definitely nerve wrecking, especially looking down! 😳😳
We just recieved or Via Ferrata gear from Black Diamond today in the mail. Super excited to hit up Colorado in October. Thanks for the video, I think it's going to be awesome!
That’s so cool! There’s a cool via ferrata route south of Ouray we wanted to try! We hope y’all have a great trip!
This looks exhilarating!! You can really grasp how high up y'all are around 10:25. You looked high up while on the bridge, and then at that mark the bridge looks tiny! We will have to try this one day!
Isn’t that crazy?! Seeing how tiny the bridge looks really put into perspective!
Omg I was shaking watching this wow looks sooooo scary especially the bridge when Kathryn got too the top and said she felt nauseous I was like wow so fun but so scary
Oh man, it was terrifying and nauseating at times, but one of the best things we have ever done!
Oh heck no! Amazing that you 2 did this!
Still one of the most fun things we have ever done!
Been waiting to watch this all day finally got it on my new 4K tv You guys my heart was in my mouth the whole time ! 18 mins felt like 5 secs went so quick , hope your mother dosnt see it 🙈 great job you were like mountaineering pros 👌 well impressed , no money in the world could pay me to do that , looked great fun though 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Hahahahaha my mom just commented and her comment made me LOL! So pumped you watched this on a 4K TV! Those drone shots Adam got deserve the big screen 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Will put that in my bucket list!!Thank you for the video❤️
It's totally bucket list worthy!
I live in Virginia but West Virginia is so beautiful. Loved the video.
It's official... you guys are definitely influences (but the good kind... I promise!) Way back when I first watched this video, I immediately wanted to do a via ferrata - even looked into a trip to Italy over October Half Term (before realising how nuts the weather would be!) but at the end of the summer, I did the Honister Slate Mine via ferrata in the Lake District and loved it. Thought I'd let you guys know ❤️
Hahahah we hate the word influencers, BUT we will take it when it means influencing others to get outdoors or try new experiences! Will you have a video from yours? We would love to see it...that via ferrata looks INSANE and is being added to the list!
Wow , what a scarey place to be !!! You guys sure are brave !! Or crazy !!!
this is a wonderful ridge climbing! Nice knife dinosaur ridge! I'll remember the name of the place!
Pretty crazy!!
That was fascinating. I've hiked up the Seneca Rocks trail and up the rocks (past the sign that tells you not to) to the summit, but I would not like to do what you did. I love West Virginia and plan to do some backpacking at Dolly Sods as soon as it gets cooler. Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure.
It may look scary, but it was totally safe and a blast! We love WV!
I watched this while walking on the treadmill and I had to keep grabbing the side rails cause I thought I was gonna fall off!!! You are way too brave!
Hahahahah confession: I am TERRIFIED of treadmills (fell on a moving one as a kid and gashed up my knees) and I have to hold on the entire time I use them 🤣🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK That would traumatize me, no wonder you don't like them! I am not a fan of cliffs (kids think it's hysterical when we are doing something like driving the coastal highway). There is no way I would have made it on your adventure, LOL!
Hahaha my mom HATES cliffs! I don’t love them either, but she freaks out if we are like 10 feet from them 🤣
So proud of you!
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
F@%k!!!!!!! that was incredible I've always been pretty good with heights but that looks insane!!!! Awesome work by both of you. So well done👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hahaha your reaction made me LOL! 🤣 Thanks Glenn!
You’ve definitely done my state justice! Thank you guys ❤️
Thank you so much!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I’ve lived here for 25 years (my whole life) and you gave ME ideas of things to do this fall and next summer. I live in Martinsburg, WV which is kind of close to Harpers Ferry and there is nothing to do here and has a bad reputation lol people usually head to VA or MD to do things
@@MesserAaron13 one of my favorite spots is maryland heights by harpers ferry
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😃
I knew of Seneca Rocks, but I didn't know there was a via ferrata. This is so awesome.
Seriously one of the coolest, most thrilling experiences! It's located down the road a bit from Seneca Rocks, but a similar vibe!
Oh omg! I’m scared watching you’ll! So brave, u guys rock!
Hahaha thank you Sheila! 🥰
I'm so happy right now! You guys tackled your fear of heights
Heck yes! Still don’t love heights, but we definitely feel braver than before!
Haven't done any climbing for years, but that looked amazing
So dang fun! 🙌🏼 what kind of climbing have you done?
Great work! But I would NEVER!! Omgosh!!
Hahahah definitely a scary, but amazing, experience!
WOW ! You guys ROCK !! (climb lol). At our Outdoor School we had a climbing wall and high ropes course for our 6-12 year old students. While no where near what you all did, for the kids overcoming their fears and pushing themselves was such an impactful experience. Being a part of facilitating that was so rewarding. So proud of both of you. The footage mad me feel I was right there with you (on my comfy couch lol). It is moments like this where you conquer something you wouldn't imagine doing and then wonder...well what's next
I’m slowly becoming more of a dare devil lol! My mom is probably not thrilled 🤣🤣 It is so fun to push yourself (safely of course) and prove to yourself that you’re stronger both mentally and physically than you think! 💪🏼
