Climbing the NROCKS Via Ferrata in West Virginia! 🧗🏻‍♀️ (+ visiting Spruce Knob)

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!

Watch our other West Virginia vlogs: kzbin.info/aero/PLZKRTK1yCEM5a4PAiayjCpGAkRdeCeb5G 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.

Thank you so much for showing our gorgeous state in such a positive light! I’ve lived here my whole life and this did my heart good!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

West Virginia was one of the best surprises we have had in the US! Such a gorgeous state, not busy feeling, and so much to do!

[@GOTTshua]

We live a laid-back and beautiful existence here in Almost Heaven, West Virginia.

[@jatraveler1277]

PHENOMENAL... I had to quit eating my breakfast as I watched this epic adventure. Way to go 👏. Drone shots were incredible.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahaha love it! Thank you so much!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Who knew West Virginia had so much crazy nature!

[@scottt3100]

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! ❤️❤️❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for the kind words about the video Scott! We are sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. West Virginia is a gorgeous state! We are from Texas as well and loved how scenic WV is!

[@eugeneburns8740]

I’m so proud of how beautiful my home state is. Almost heaven indeed

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It’s gorgeous! 😍

[@BrandiDawson-k9b]

We just did this yesterday! Found your video because I was looking for something we could show our friends because the photos we took did not even come close to doing justice to how terrifying it was haha. Coming around the corner of the notch was the one and only time I ALMOST cried. Can't believe I did it! I did pass on the headwall at the end though, and after seeing your video of looking down from there, I'm so glad I did!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Good job on conquering your fear! It was tough for us too but very exhilarating!

[@Rick-4552]

Lived in West Virginia for 49 years and was at Dolly Sods last weekend , and you are showing me things that I didn’t know about ! Thanks !

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh wow, that is awesome to hear! We love even getting to share something new with locals! 🙌🏼

[@glgonz]

This was a great nail biting episode. I agree with Adam, looking down to get your footing for the climb down had to be stressful. That suspension bridge, looked just as challenging though 😬. What a great accomplishment for all of you.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That bridge required nice slow and steady steps. I kept getting scary visions of my foot slipping through 😬😱

[@ronaldgolden7659]

Again, your channel has provided another incredible journey! Best drone footage, ever! That climb gave me chills up and down my spine! I’m here on terra firma, sipping a cup of java, and loving every minute of this video.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

So glad you enjoyed this crazy adventure! I am so happy the guide was all for us droning and even told us when would be good times. Some of our favorite footage ever!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

I'm super impressed with the drone footage! That right there is worth watching for

[@hparry424]

My hands got so sweaty just watching!! Well done!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Even though we felt totally safe, we felt totally terrified! 😬😅

[@philsmith2346]

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!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for the info! It sure was gorgeous! We love traveling in our van, so no permanent home for us yet!

[@bspoynter]

That looks like a lot of fun. I will share this video with all of my friends. Most of them will want to try that via ferrata out. Great video! 👍

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ah nice, we hope they enjoy it! 🤗

[@jamolljamoll2937]

So glad you all enjoyed WV!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved it!!!

[@KrisiaVaca]

OH MY GOODNESS!! this was insane. I had my heart on my throat when you guys crossed that bridge, you had to look down to make sure you actually put your foot on the wood plank so hats of to you for doing that and taking us along this thrilling ride of a vídeo. Great video!😁

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahaha the bridge was crazy for that reason! No avoiding looking down on that one 😅😅

[@LivinginOurNow]

You guys!!! This. Was. Epic!!! We just discovered the whole Via Ferrata thing the other week when we watched Eat, See, RV climb one in Colorado, and we were SUPER excited to see that you were doing one too! 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

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you guys so much!!! ❤️ This was one of the most fun and coolest experiences we have ever had! It’s scary at first, but then becomes a fun challenge. We hope y’all get to do one!

[@PSAdventures]

Omg, we had sweaty palms at lunch watching you guys climb those walls. WHOAH! 😮 Totally stunning views from the drone of the top of the spine. Go Adam & Kathryn for conquering your fears! ⛰️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That last wall was a doozy!!! So glad we did it, 100% worth the nerves!

[@thejakea]

Wow guys. My palms were sweating just watching some of those scenes. Epic drone shots to boot! Great video as usual.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much Jake! We apologize for sweaty palms! 😉

[@annette3488]

OMG!! I was praying 🙏🏻 for y’all!! That made me so nervous just watching! I could not do that but oh what a view!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The views made it sooo worth it!

[@MarkH163]

Yes totally epic!! The climb was incredible, really impressed with the drone shots, they really add to the total video experience!! Beautiful countryside!

Thank you so much Mark! So happy we got to fly the drone! It made editing this SO fun!

I was at this town some 40 years ago in my early 20's and loved the history and gorgeous views. Still have lovely pics from the area.

[@rollingloveshackadventures]

Loved the video. You were in one of our favorite parts of West Virginia. We love the Gateway restaurant and try to plan our travels so that we'll be in the vicinity during lunch or dinner. Their pies are amazing.

My family and I did this NRocks activity today and it was absolutely fabulous! Thanks so much for creating this video allowing us to discover this fantastic adventure!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's so awesome! We're glad we could share it and inspire others to go do it!

Great job guys. Via’s are so much fun. I’m 61 and my 17 yo grandson and I just did the Ouray Colorado Via. What an adrenaline rush.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That one looks CRAZY!!! We walked by that and it looked so scary!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Ahh that looks like so much fun! My hubs Kevin has wanted to do a Via Ferrata forever, maybe I'll have to take him out to WV to tackle this one

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yesss! Do it! I hear CO has some cool ones too!

[@bradgingerich6814]

WOW!!! This was so freaking scary, amazing, and beautiful all at the same time! I was on the edge of my seat! The drone footage was amazing...really put it all into perspective! Amazing stuff, you guys continue to crush it!!!

Thank you Thomas! We were definitely a bit queasy at times doing this! 🤣😅

[@TheClayCoKid]

Thanks for showing the world my state without any negative stuff whatsoever. Your videos were amazing. When you were in Fayetteville you guys could have seen a dozen other cool things in about an hour in any direction.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved West Virginia! We truly believe it’s one of the best hidden gems in the US! The Fayetteville area was incredible, we definitely hope to spend more time there next time!

[@TheClayCoKid]

@@AdventuresofAplusK When you are in Fayetteville you are close to Hawks Nest, Cathedral Falls and Kanawha Falls. Thats 3 spots within a few miles from one another 20 min away. And about an hour south Sandstone Falls of the New River

[@scilla2523]

This is insane! I got super nauseous just watching y’all! Thank you for sharing!! 💛💛💛

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I was so nauseous too! Hahaha 🤣

[@lorrainec5097]

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!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

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!

[@lorrainec5097]

@@AdventuresofAplusK Good thing drones were allowed too for you guys! We did it at Jabal Al Akhdar in Oman. It's the terrifying experiences that make it so memorable!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We wondered if we could drone and when I asked them about cameras they were like "do you have a drone? You can fly it if you do!" and we were like SCORE! I just googled the Oman one and holy crap that looks terrifying and awesome...adding it to the bucket list!

[@AdventureswithDanTracie]

Wow! We'll have to consider this experience when we visit West Virginia. I LOVE the drone shots that you have of the bridge! 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!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! We couldn’t recommend this experience more! The drone shots were thankfully not too scary to get. Our guide showed us two spots where we could safely fly it, which we really appreciated!

[@FrontlineLLC]

Wow. Your best video yet. The drone work is amazing. Keep smiling...

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.

Amazing! Can’t believe y’all went through with it haha I’m afraid fo heights! I had to get breakfast earlier but got stuck watching your videos lol 😂 love it. Great videos, keep it up.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was sooo terrifying haha but 1000% worth it!

[@kimdenault4147]

Absolutely amazing video!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much Kim!

[@tatyh91]

Oh my!! I don't think I would be able to to this hike at all.. Whenever you would look down I would gasp haha. Regardless, this was such a beautiful vlog and the drone footage was INCREDIBLE AND BREATHTAKING. I am looking forward to watch your next adventures.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much Tati! It was definitely nerve wrecking, especially looking down! 😳😳

[@TheBlueSpirit22]

This looks like so much fun!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Such a blast! Even as I was shaking the entire time haha

[@1121gsm]

That was fascinating. I've hiked up the Seneca Rocks trail and up the rocks (past the sign that tells you not to) to the summit, but I would not like to do what you did. I love West Virginia and plan to do some backpacking at Dolly Sods as soon as it gets cooler. Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It may look scary, but it was totally safe and a blast! We love WV!

[@MishapAmethystHikes]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for watching!

[@joybird30]

Um this is absolutely nuts!! I was terrified just watching it. Yikessss!

[@albertteo208]

Amazing episode... amazing view from top of the rock! More of these contents please :-)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! And this will probably be our most extreme adventure for a while haha. Our wallet and nerves can’t take too much of it 😜

[@crystaldawn722]

So happy that you have enjoyed my State. Wild and Wonderful 💙💛

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It's a gorgeous place!

[@Jhawkkat]

I just rewatched this one. There is absolutely no way I would have gone up that sheer cliff. You were very brave to do it. I think I would be good until after the bridge, that is if I was in better shape.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Still one of our favorite things we have done! Definitely not for everyone, but we highly recommend it!

[@NarrativeEscapes]

There is one of these in The Lakes. I have thought of doing it. This has me 20% thinking twice. That is crazy. Of course, sometimes those single track roads are more tense. Hahaha.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh wow the one there looks incredible, but the wire bridge you have to cross looks absolutely terrifying 😱 we may have to try that! 😬

[@jymnmeier3527]

WOW ! You guys ROCK !! (climb lol). At our Outdoor School we had a climbing wall and high ropes course for our 6-12 year old students. 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). It is moments like this where you conquer something you wouldn't imagine doing and then wonder...well what's next

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I’m slowly becoming more of a dare devil lol! My mom is probably not thrilled 🤣🤣 It is so fun to push yourself (safely of course) and prove to yourself that you’re stronger both mentally and physically than you think! 💪🏼

[@MrsMajorHoff]

I watched this while walking on the treadmill and I had to keep grabbing the side rails cause I thought I was gonna fall off!!! You are way too brave!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahahah confession: I am TERRIFIED of treadmills (fell on a moving one as a kid and gashed up my knees) and I have to hold on the entire time I use them 🤣🤣

[@MrsMajorHoff]

@@AdventuresofAplusK That would traumatize me, no wonder you don't like them! I am not a fan of cliffs (kids think it's hysterical when we are doing something like driving the coastal highway). There is no way I would have made it on your adventure, LOL!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha my mom HATES cliffs! I don’t love them either, but she freaks out if we are like 10 feet from them 🤣

[@atsuko3294]

OMGoodness! This video was more scary than a Horror movie! You guys are so brave!! Another great adventure.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahahaha thank you!

[@MesserAaron13]

You’ve definitely done my state justice! Thank you guys ❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much!

[@MesserAaron13]

@@AdventuresofAplusK I’ve lived here for 25 years (my whole life) and you gave ME ideas of things to do this fall and next summer. I live in Martinsburg, WV which is kind of close to Harpers Ferry and there is nothing to do here and has a bad reputation lol people usually head to VA or MD to do things

[@Tom72-p2b]

​@@MesserAaron13 one of my favorite spots is maryland heights by harpers ferry

[@CRossi-fb3ni]

Proud of you two! Not sure if I would do it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! And maybe one day you can try! We still can’t believe we did!

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

Looked like an awesome adventure! Views from the bridge look great!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The bridge was so dang fun! 🙌🏼

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

@@AdventuresofAplusK you guys need to stop having fun 😉

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha don’t worry, we have plenty of not fun 🤣

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

@@AdventuresofAplusK i know whenever I post stuff it doesn't show how I go crazy all day to get all the cool footage 😎

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha very true! Or the many days we spend editing and working 😅
