I had some time to stop at these falls during my hiking weekend to the Cats back at the beginning of October. I would have liked to go downstream to see the others, but other hikers advised me not to without proper climbing gear. Upon leaving at the parking lot, I met a man who provides climbing instruction and tours to groups. Their goal for the day...rappel all three falls. I wish I had been a part of the group.

Nice, too bad you couldn't have hung around and taken shots of the people rappeling.

Come on, Kyle, when has climbing gear stopped you from "repelling" downstream before? :lol:
