At 140 meters (459 feet) in height, Helmcken Falls is the fourth tallest waterfall in Canada. During the winter, it doesn't freeze solid, but it creates enough of a spray to freeze the cliffs that surround it.

Along the way, he'll find out why this is considered one of the toughest mixed routes in the entire world.
