Climbing Up Niagara Falls - Will Gadd and Sarah Hueniken

Niagara Falls, like most waterfalls, is a renowned showcase for the powers of gravity. Water, and sometimes people, go over the edges of the falls drawn by a current heading toward the Atlantic Ocean. But recently, the falls were a venue for ice climbers Will Gadd and Sarah Hueniken to spurn gravity and climb up North America's most powerful faucet. The water, turned to ice by the powers of winter, supported Gadd and Hueniken up the 167 foot face, as water poured over the edge next to him. Gadd explains that the climb up Niagara Falls was the most difficult climb of his life, simply for the logistical headache of acquiring permission from the New York State Park Police.
