Surava - broken dreams

We examined the damage - lots or ice blocks at the base of the fall. Water floating over the exposed rock. Unclimbable.

Suravafall broke down around 2 weeks ago. The second time, as it had broken down before, in December…

That’s what we heard from the local walking his dog near the stream.

We climbed the Skate Hate Line instead. Truly beautiful ice. I enjoyed the approach as it went through the forest that seemed to be already transitioning into Spring.

Special thanks to Ben Russell for awesome pictures.
