Description

Hidden jewel of the back country is just that. It can be scoped out from the cat walk looking down skiers left. Getting to it is another story and will most likely take you a couple hours of serious bushwhacking to reach. Plan accordingly and keep in mind help is unavailable down there in the event of an accident. Be aware of the conditions as this is a high flow route and would be bad if it came down. I’d guess this waterfall has an actual name and if that’s determined the name of the climb should be changed to that as well. I know only one person who has previously climbed this waterfall and any other information is welcome. First pitch climbs a low angle pitch of WI3 to the steeper fall. Second pitch climbs a pillar (could be a curtain in good conditions) then rounds out on a slab to the trees. WI4-. Rap the route.
