This is our trip to the Via Ferrata: Nelson Rocks, West Virginia. The video is short, but it's a four hour ascent.

@TheInfiniteVortex - They have all the equipment you'll need.
No hiking experience is neccessary, but you boviously can't be afraid of heights.
A continuous trek will take about 3-3.5 hours, but there are many stops along the way, as well as an "escape route" halfway on the climb (at the bridge).
The bridge is VERY intimidating, and because the planks have an 18-inch gap between them (to keep the bridge platform from swaying), you have to look down and you WILL see how high you are. Have Fun.

Good vid! I've done via ferrata in the french alps and I just want to do it again after watching your video: 'Look at the blue sky honey'... I don't want to look...' haha. Fair enough. Wish my wife had the courage to do that.

The climb is very safe, but you MUST follow directions. Accidents are usually operator error, or someone fooling around. Not for one who is afraid of heights, and someone who can't manage their weight properly; a lot of balancing is involved. The climb takes between 3 to 4 hours. As for the bridge? It's safe, just don't look down!!!

Although I was harnessed and attached to a line above me, crossing the bridge was still scary. Especially because of the 18 inch gap between each plank (keeps the bridge from swaying due to the winds). Since you have to keep an eye on your step, you have to look 200 feet below you.
