Gadd tops out on Niagara Falls; photo by Christian Pondella/Red Bull Content Pool
Lots of people have gone over Niagara Falls. Quite a few have even walked across it on tightrope. But Will Gadd is probably the first person to climb UP the frozen falls, at least legally.
Gadd worked with the New York State Parks Department on a plan to climb the frozen falls safely, and said that the route would not have been possible during a warm winter.
