The views are wild, but you’re safe and secure throughout your journey.

Led by a highly experienced ACMG-certified guide, you wear a harness that is always attached to the mountain’s steel cable pathway, securing you to the rock at all times.

So leave your worries behind, live in the moment and get set to explore!
