Description

Embark on a climb on the ‘Iron Path’ or ‘Via Ferrata’, up one of the most impressive mountains in the Lake District. Originally introduced in World War Two, this pioneering style of climbing was the ideal way for marines to gain vantage points that no-one else could reach. Climb over 2000 feet to the summit of Fleetwith Pike, and take in the raw beauty of the panoramic views over Buttermere Water and beyond. To reach the summit you will take on the mighty cargo net and Xtreme wire bridge, at over 500 feet high and over 150 feet long. This is a perfect way for any couple of thrill seekers to get their adrenaline pumping.
