Climbing "Via Ferrata Norquay" (grade C/D) is a thrilling and accessible adventure in the Canadian Rockies. The route offers stunning panoramic views of Banff National Park as you ascend the iconic cliffs of Mount Norquay. The C/D grade indicates a moderate level of difficulty, suitable for beginners with a reasonable level of fitness, or experienced climbers looking for a fun, scenic outing. Expect a mix of vertical ladders, suspension bridges, and exposed traverses along the cliff face, all securely protected by a steel cable system. You'll need to rent or bring the proper via ferrata kit – harness, lanyard with two carabiners, and helmet – and ideally have some experience with using it. The feeling of exposure and the accomplishment of reaching the summit make this a truly memorable experience.
