“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” – T.S. Eliot  

Mountain climbing is an adventure which takes courage and grit. It is an endeavour where you often put your life on the line, and there are some climbs which take this bravado to the next level. Frozen waterfall climb is one of these next level climbs which quite literally means scaling ice. Something as minor as a small dip in the temperature can potentially melt the ice and lead you to your final fall. It requires skill, special technique and a strong risk-taking attitude to successfully climb a frozen waterfall.

On January 16th, 2016, Abhijeet Singh and Pranav Rawat, headed to Spiti Valley to attempt India’s first ever frozen waterfall climb. Of course, they succeeded, but not without challenges. Check out their inspiring story in the new film The Fall – India’s First Frozen Waterfall Ascent, presented by Mountain Dew. These heroes go out to show that #NaamBanteHainRiskSe.
