"In order to help educate people about the unique geography of the area, the mine already operates a “Via Ferrata” experience.
It involves groups of visitors in harnesses and safety helmets being attached to a perilous cliff-face thousands of feet up the side of a mountain next to the mine and then led by fully-trained mountaineers. The experience has been devised as an introduction to both high mountain walking, basic climbing and gives a secure insight into what it must have been like for fell runners stuck on an exposed mountain side."
