You clip in, feel the cable take your weight, and the fjord opens beneath you — a long slice of ocean wedged between knife-edge peaks. The Sea to Sky Via Ferrata in Squamish places non-climbers on fixed rungs, vertical ladders and a swaying suspension bridge where each step is both a movement and a view.
