The Waterfall

What A Thrill

On the far western end of the waterfall area, just below the village, climb up to Backpack Ledge. Begin on the arete hanging over the backpack. Follow a series of these aretes up to an unclimbable roof. To pass the roof you’ll need to traverse right, climb up, around and then head back left. There’s an amazing traverse here. Make it across and then continue up and out beside the tree.
