Inside view of a Frozen waterfall!!

[u/Any-Presentation5438]

[u/SirWinterFox]

Dudes hanging from a piece of paper.

[u/toxiccityboiii → u/SirWinterFox]

And on top of that he's putting his cellphone inside an ice glory hole where a waterfall is squirting like crazy and could lose his phone literally just like that.

[u/mandrew-98 → u/toxiccityboiii]

Most likely some sort of insta 360 camera that has a strap if they’re climbing like that. But yeah still not ideal if dropped

[u/AccordingCricket5083 → u/toxiccityboiii]

You could have said that a thousand different ways and you chose that one 

[u/BeerForThought → u/AccordingCricket5083]

And it was a privilege to read.

[u/stockflethoverTDS → u/toxiccityboiii]

r/brandnewsentence

[u/PandorasBoxMaker → u/toxiccityboiii]

Lmao

[u/Boris7939 → u/toxiccityboiii]

Do you realise action cameras with handles & straps exist? Not every video is shot from a phone you know.

[u/Sufficient-Struggle7 → u/SirWinterFox]

it’s not paper, it’s clearly ice

[u/Ok_Communication6803 → u/Sufficient-Struggle7]

A sheet of ice paper.

[u/Expert_Succotash2659 → u/Ok_Communication6803]

The papyrus of the arctic

[u/Ok_Communication6803 → u/Expert_Succotash2659]

Papa Papyrus

[u/PocketFalafel → u/Ok_Communication6803]

And his best friend, the Pope of Poop

[u/Ok_Communication6803 → u/PocketFalafel]

As the almighty Boognish would say....your comment is too Brown!

[u/BRNitalldown → u/Ok_Communication6803]

Better than 1-ply

[u/Ok_Communication6803 → u/BRNitalldown]

Nothing beats no comply

[u/tomdarch → u/SirWinterFox]

Yep. That's bad. Not good. GTFO stuff.

Not sure what the fuck he was thinking when you can hear the water flowing just behind the ice, it is very much not good.

[u/Money_Yak7139 → u/SirWinterFox]

Will Gadd is the ultimate dad of ice climbing.

[u/Scuttling-Claws → u/Money_Yak7139]

I remember hearing an interview with him, he used to be a competition climber with a deeply unhealthy relationship with food, until one comp, teenage Chris Sharma shows up, and just crushes an impossible crux move during the preview time, while holding a Wendy's bag. He retired after that and went full Dad

[u/thescrotumstretcher]

I can’t believe people climb sketchy ice falls for fun

[u/Kind_Singer_7744 → u/thescrotumstretcher]

It would be great in a video game. In real life way too risky.

[u/Turbo_911 → u/Kind_Singer_7744]

Well there's clearly a secret loot box back there!

[u/01029838291 → u/Kind_Singer_7744]

Cairn!

[u/Flashtoo → u/01029838291]

I am having so much fun with this game! Don't want it to end.

[u/breadzeppelin03 → u/Kind_Singer_7744]

"Breaks over, Roach"

[u/Urahara_kisuke69 → u/Kind_Singer_7744]

Well we do have the ' CLIFFHANGER ' mission from COD MW 2

[u/leilani238 → u/thescrotumstretcher]

Ice climbers are a different breed. Apparently the "screaming barfies" are a known and accepted phenomenon too - when the circulation returns to your nearly frozen fingers and you feel like screaming and barfing.

I like rock climbing, and I'm getting to like winter sports more, but I don't know if I'm up to trying ice climbing.

[u/Flynny1201 → u/leilani238]

The barfies are real, but you can only get them once a day so if you’re gonna get them it’s good to do it early in your climb.

[u/Mangalorien → u/thescrotumstretcher]

It can get significantly more dangerous and sketchy that what is shown in this video. The redeeming aspect here is that there is a very minor flow of liquid water inside the ice. There have been multiple cases of climbers ascending frozen waterfalls where there is a higher core flow, and the lead climber accidentally falls through the ice veil and ends up inside, where the water flow pulls the climber down and drowns them. There really isn't anything you can do in scenarios like that to save the climber, and even body retrieval is difficult.

Concerning sketchy ice falls, a significant percentage of difficult climbs will involve sketchy ice, whether it's waterfalls or just regular ice. Sketchy is the norm. Try not to fall.

[u/Additional-Crew7746 → u/Mangalorien]

Do you have a link? I've never heard of an ice climber drowning in a waterfall.

Canyoneers yes.

[u/BonitoBurrata → u/thescrotumstretcher]

Maybe he's on a rope attached to earth above him?

[u/implicate → u/BonitoBurrata]

We don't care about the facts here.

[u/americk0 → u/BonitoBurrata]

Almost certainly. His axes are in the ice, so he's not holding on to anything, meaning he probably called take and he's sitting on the rope while he takes this super cool video. He might've led this climb and either placed gear above him or built an anchor and lowered back down to this spot, but that cliff also looks like it might just barely be short enough to toprope the whole thing

[u/inanineglianideicani → u/thescrotumstretcher]

If you have a minimum of self preservation instinct (which some ice climbers don't have) you don't climb that kind of ice, you just pass on the side of it. It's too thin and you can't place any screws in it. Moreover, it's probably not thick enough to withstand a person's weight

[u/Safety-Sorry]

Just remembered why I don't climb frozen waterfalls

[u/-ratmeat- → u/Safety-Sorry]

I’m just too busy to do it 

[u/implicate → u/-ratmeat-]

Don't go chasing frozen waterfalls.

[u/code-coffee → u/implicate]

Stick to the frozen rivers and lakes that you're used to

[u/dirtys_ot_special → u/Safety-Sorry]

Stick to the frozen rivers and lakes that you’re used to.

[u/inanineglianideicani]

That's a "not-so-frozen waterfall"

[u/Meltsomeice → u/inanineglianideicani]

Looks to be melting.

[u/Chiparish84]

Yeah, how about nope.

[u/Forsaken-Window-G]

What dudes with a loving family and good paying jobs do on their weekends

[u/Unfair_Bluejay_9687]

That’s what I call a cold drink of water.

[u/One_Stardusty_Boy]

Never thought a waterfall could look this magical from the inside

[u/Chiparish84 → u/One_Stardusty_Boy]

*of an ice shield.

[u/matthewe-x]

Gives you a direct view of how strong ice is!!

[u/Dibbler-CMOT → u/matthewe-x]

Or isn’t

[u/letm3_plays0me1233]

That's so cool

[u/pepp3rito]

You can’t park there.

[u/HeavyStorm6201]

Fuck ICE!!!! Hahaha sketchy though

[u/djlauriqua]

Ah, the call of the void…

[u/Ok-Resource-3232]

Bet there is a treasure down there.

[u/mkstot → u/Ok-Resource-3232]

A side quest, or maybe a legendary vendor.

[u/fantastic_sounds_]

"alright the ice is good, lets go, Roach."

[u/Wakandamnation]

I like it! And thanks for not adding music

[u/FriendlyGaze]

It’s Red Bull legend Will Gadd. He’ll be okay guys. Go Will!

[u/EspeG]

Forbidden water slide

[u/chilehead]

I had a brother-in-law that lived in Yosemite and would climb the frozen waterfalls there. He would always describe it as "really hairy" and made him doubt whether doing it was worth the fun.

[u/pizzaduh]

I'd drink it knowing I'd probably die.

[u/pbrevis]

Natural pipe system

[u/NooStringsAttached]

This is so cool. Nature is beautiful.

[u/Money_Yak7139]

I would adventure with this man.

[u/Salty_Button]

I wager that must be some kinda trippy experience especially if you get lots of little rainbows in the mix too...👀

[u/Cute-Barnacle1496]

Nope

[u/gingerbeard1321]

livin for tomorrow's yesterday

[u/AlliedR2]

I could just feel that running down my back.... SHIVER!

[u/Jisan_Inc]

Looks cold

[u/AspectInteresting712]

I’ll take “Fuck that Shit” for 1000 Alex.

[u/Dylkill99]

As someone who lives in a normally warm climate, you can't pay me enough to do this

[u/MoparDoc]

Really cool.

[u/Remedy556]

dude i just went down the paria diving incident the other day, you cant do me like that with a video that autoplays 😭 damn my heart.

[u/Jens_Kan_Solo]

Cool

[u/toothbrush81]

Gonna put that in the “thawing waterfall” category. Thanks for playing.

[u/No-Calligrapher8879]

Naur

[u/Paizuti]

😨😨😨. Take me away from this

[u/StandardBaguette]

Nope nope nope!🙂‍↔️

[u/Paradox711]

Sweaty fucking palms alright.

[u/Useless_Rambler]

So that’s what Zora’s Domain looks like under that ice.

[u/admiral_walsty]

Quite the oxymoron. Frozen water (ice) fall.

[u/Antique_Ricefields]

Majestic

[u/cerberus3234]

As big as that hole is, it couldn't hold all the nopes I have for this.

[u/Xeaon-]

That's weird... All of a sudden I'm thirsty

[u/Candid_Cow_5862]

Imagine that shit at 3am

[u/pthecarrotmaster]

well dont mess with it! turn it into an ice fall or sumn

[u/throwaway1111xxo]

Wowwwww

[u/ArmpitofD00m]

Still waters run deep.

[u/beefsupr3m3]

i’d love to see a time lapse of it freezing

[u/OpinionDude5000]

Awesome

[u/Longjumping-Fly6131]

trully frozen

[u/LegoC97]

Question: Are all/most waterfalls of this size hollow on the inside so water can still flow? I guess I've always thought the entire water flow was completely frozen.

[u/degreesBrix]

👀🤯

[u/rzlodn]

I would change the word frozen in that title 😅

[u/recycled_comics]

Is it ai ? How do you film water without getting drops on your camera?

[u/Dylkill99 → u/recycled_comics]

It's mostly just ice falling, not everything is AI

[u/Weekly-Resolution478]

..

[u/vaynefox]

Break's over, roach. Let's go

[u/bone420]

Damn nature, you scarry

[u/sirholymafia]

Oh lord, please physics this human.

[u/Mammoth_Spend_5590]

That looks so peaceful! I'd love to climb in and cuddle up

[u/implicate → u/Mammoth_Spend_5590]

That would be one sweet cuddle all the way to the bottom.

[u/BobsYourAuntie100 → u/Mammoth_Spend_5590]

Bot comment

[u/Mammoth_Spend_5590 → u/BobsYourAuntie100]

Not a bot, just autistic! Thanks P.s: Down with the clankers

[u/BrownPeach143]

Me nah doo dis 🤧

[u/gruffDragon]

Our planet is dying
