On July 22nd, 2015, Tony @Absolute Gravity (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=22101) , Levi @levifackrell (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=20798) and I took a lap down the Great White Icicle.

It was a relatively uneventful trip, until a large rock broke loose from the top of the falls, about the size of a car tire. Tony was about 150 feet below, at the hanging rap station, while Levi and I were on the platform about 350 from the top.


Tony let us know that the rock was on it's way down, and luckily it missed him. It exploded into 10 smaller chunks, about 200 feet from the top, that luckily missed me and Levi on the exposed platform below. Spoooky! :eek2:


*peers into crystal ball*


I see a helmet purchase in Levi's future! :haha:


Another fun adventure with friends new and old. :mrgreen:

That's is amazing that it survived! It sure looked dead to me.

Please post the clip if you get a chance.

Lol, 200 ft to its first bounce maybe. Didn't you find it at the bottom of the mid-wall rappel? ~350 ft to there. Amazing it survived! :banana:

so the file was corrupted so the speed of it is off and its only ~14 secs long due to the fall not worth trying to repair it and try to post it
