Only nine people have survived going down Niagara Falls. Popular Canadian mountain climber Will Gadd decided to attempt becoming the first ever person to go up the falls.

Will Gadd is a athlete, motivational speaker, and professional mountain climber.

Will decided one day that he would attempt to climb the falls using modified ice picks, crampons, and specially designed prototype ice hooks.

Will estimated that this climb would be a W16+ climb which is considered to be nearly impossible in the climbing community.

However, Will still decided to attempt this feat and climbed the frozen Niagara Falls. This feat proved to be incredibly difficult as the frozen temperatures of the falls raining down on him that weren’t frozen, combined with the already treacherous climbing conditions made the climb incredibly difficult.

Will persevered though and made it to the top of the falls becoming the first ever person to do so.

This feat took place nearly 8 years ago, but now Red Bull has collaborated with Will to make him a short film.
