Via Ferrata for 2

🧢 Gear Up for Adventure
Arrive at the historic Honister Slate Mine where your experienced guide will fit you with a safety harness, helmet, and headlamp. "I feel like a proper mountaineer already!" is a common reaction as you prepare for your vertical adventure while receiving essential safety instructions.

⛏️ Discover Mining Heritage
Begin your journey with a fascinating 10-minute walk through ancient mine tunnels, where your guide shares insights into the slate mining history that shaped this unique Lakeland landscape. The cool, darkened passages build anticipation for the open-air challenge ahead.

🪜 Begin Your Vertical Ascent
Emerge onto the mountainside and clip onto the Via Ferrata system – a secured metal pathway that will guide your climb. Your first steps up the steel rungs deliver an immediate rush of excitement as the ground begins to fall away beneath you.

🌉 Navigate Aerial Challenges
Progress along your ascent by conquering a series of thrilling obstacles including vertical ladders, swinging bridges, and an exhilarating cargo net. "I can't believe I'm doing this!" is frequently heard as you safely traverse sections that would otherwise be accessible only to experienced rock climbers.

🏔️ Reach the Spectacular Summit
Complete your climb to reach the summit of Fleetwith Pike at nearly 650 meters above sea level. Catch your breath as you take in the magnificent 360-degree panorama of the North Lakes stretching out before you – Buttermere, Crummock Water, and the surrounding fells create a vista that few visitors to the Lake District ever experience.

📸 Celebrate Your Achievement
Take a moment at the summit to celebrate your achievement with fellow adventurers. There's ample time for photos and to soak in the sense of accomplishment before beginning your descent via a traditional mountain path back to the slate mine.
