  • Our 4th day in West Virginia may have been one of our most epic adventures yet: climbing a Via Ferrata! A Via Ferrata is Italian for “iron path” and is a climbing route that includes steel cables, rungs or ladders, fixed to a rock. While these are very popular in Europe, especially in Italy and Austria, the US is home to some as well. We spent 5 hours climbing the NROCKS Via Ferrata near Seneca Rocks and it was one of the most thrilling, challenging, and fun adventures EVER!

    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.

    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!

    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! ❤️❤️❤️

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

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.

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!!!

    GREAT video! Did not realize WV had Via Ferrata. Awesome job filming and editing, especially the drone footage!! I can't believe you guys filmed while doing this. I did this once in Oman and I was scared about taking pictures with my iPhone much less a DSLR. I was terrified, really sore the next day from hanging on to dear life and my legs were all bruised from hitting the rocks. Our "bridge" was a single rope across a canyon and they also made me go first. Afterwards, I felt so accomplished and like you said, VIA FERRATA is a ton of fun!

      I asked in advance how doable having our cameras would be and they were allll for it! So happy they were because it was so fun to film! We had a wrist strap for the camera to make sure it didn’t fall. I had no idea Oman had one, how cool! Going to have to google that because that bridge sounds terrifying!

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).
