1046 viewsJohn on the previous drop on the main spine. We did not go any lower than this point on this trip. We still had a lot of arduous climbing to do to get back to the rope and then still had to renegotiate the crack which would be much harder than the descent ! Nov 08, 2016

971 viewsThis is part of the drop that would require roping to continue (safely) down and would be the first major obstacle you would encounter if climbing up from the bottom. it would be hard to do that as you would be unable to throw a rope up that high so would require some serious freestyle climbing !

1032 viewsJohn is gnome posing on the top of the next drop over from me as I stand upon the Diamond Rock which would be required if one was to continue down the main ridge towards the top of the falls. There are maybe two more drops you could do without a rope but any farther would not be easily possible. Nov 08, 2016
