We’re all aware of the barreling descents people have taken down Niagara Falls.
Going up the world’s most powerful waterfall, on the other hand, is a first.
Canadian ice climbers Will Gadd and Sarah Hueniken – Will climbing, Sarah belaying – achieved the daredevil feat this week when they scaled a 30-foot frozen section of the great horseshoe.
