Y ears ago, Will Gadd saw a photo and heard a rumor online about the potential for a futuristic ice route on an incredibly steep wall behind Helmcken Falls, in Wells Grey Provincial Park, British Columbia. Though the idea intrigued Gadd, he didn't believe the cave would be so tall--460 feet. Nor did he think that a line of pure ice could form on such a steep wall--overhanging 45 degrees. But last week Gadd, along with partner Tim Emmett, found the impossible to be true. After rappelling into the ...

A few days back I posted a story and video about Will Gadd climbing icebergs off the coast of Canada . At the time, I mentioned that he was one of the top climbers around and was especially proficient on ice.

According to this story over a Climbing.com , Gadd completed 194 laps on the 40-meter Pick O’ the Vic route as part of his ...
