Via ferrata course at Red River Gorge offering rappelling, night climbs in spring THE ASSOCIATED PRESS March 14, 2014 - 4:09 am EDT CAMPTON, Kentucky — A unique rock-climbing destination in the Red River Gorge Geological Area is offering special discounts and climbing clinics this spring. Torrent Falls Climbing Adventures is home to a via ferrata, which is a climbing course that uses a series of cables and hand rungs that allows even beginners to climb to the highest points. Via ferrata courses were popularized in Europe, and Kentucky is home to one of the few courses in the U.S. Torrent Falls also offers rappelling and night climbs on its course. Rappelling courses are being discounted 20 percent in March and guided night climbs are 33 percent off in April. There will also be a one-day sport climbing clinic on March 23 and a traditional climbing clinic on April 19. Each clinic is $80 per person. www.therepublic.com/w/KY--Rock-Climbing-Clinic
