Via Ferrata opens at Squaw
Alpenglow Expeditions, a North Lake Tahoe area-based guide service, has opened the first route on Tahoe’s only Via Ferrata, located on the Tram Face at Squaw Valley Resort, as first reported at TheTahoeWeekly.com. Via Ferrata, an Italian term meaning Iron Road, is a protected climbing route with permanent steel anchors and cables that allow participants to be safely connected to the rock via a Continuous Lifeline System. The Tahoe Via Ferrata will ultimately consist of two routes allowing those with no climbing experience the opportunity to scale the rock face, topping out more than 1,000 vertical feet above The Village at Squaw Valley. | tahoevia.com
