VIA FERRATA

Ouray Via Ferrata Upstream Route

An advanced climbing adventure!

Take your adventure to the next level! The Upstream Via Ferrata provides an extra challenge as it winds its way through Ouray’s impressive Uncompahgre Gorge.

The climbing difficulty kicks up on this route.  The metal rungs and free-hanging ladders are steeper and the rock steps used to scale the sheer walls are more precarious.

To ensure success on this strenuous route, climbers need to have completed the Downstream Via Ferrata (or have similar experience).  Your AMGA Rock Guide will help determine which via is the best choice for your group’s abilities and goals.
