Internationally renowned ice climber Will Gadd takes ice climbing to the next level by scaling the frozen sections of the world’s largest flowing waterfall, Niagara Falls. Gadd, a world-renowned ice climber and paraglider from Alberta, Canada, has traveled to the ends of the earth to find the world’s most challenging climbs, but Niagara Falls, one of his home country‘s most iconic landmarks, is a lifelong mission that he previously thought impossible...until now.

Canadian Will Gadd - Ice Climbing on Frozen Niagara Falls. You got to watch this. It took him over an hour to accomplish this feat. The first person ever to do this. #FrozenNiagaraFalls #NiagaraFalls #IceClimbing

It took him only 8 months to get the permit to do this stunt. And this guy is an expert ice climber :)

Will Gadd seems to have done this rather quickly. Yet I could find no report on how long it took. I watched his interview on Anderson Cooper, but it apparently didn't occur to Anderson Cooper to ask this question either. So how long did it take exactly?

LORD Please watch over that knucklehead and help keep him safe always.. That would simply be terrible, I'm so glad he made it.. 🌎 Thank Goodness we don't have that much falling water here in the Republic of Texas 🐎 !!

BFD. It looks like a WI5 to me Gadd is just taking a harder line to try and make it a 6. The only reason it hasn't been climbed is because it rarely forms and it's not legal, at least not until recently. Not that Gadd isn't one of the better climbers out there, but this is all hype.

Jake calvin Umm, no. Niagara Falls goes from the land-fall American side to Goat Island which is also American. Then there's the smaller Bridal Falls within the island itself (as Goat island is actually a series of islands, including the Three Sisters), then there's Horseshoe Falls which goes from Goat Island, and doing a U shape up to the Canadian Side. The Horseshoe falls is the safest to travel over in a barrel because there aren't rocks underneath unlike the American Falls (or Niagara Falls, as it's called).
