Description
The structure of this waterfall will vary almost every time you see it. It typically thaws and refreezes numerous times over the course of the Minnesota winter. At the start of this season (Jan. '09) it was one pillar and now it is late February and it covers the whole face like the water runs during the summer.
Protection
Rangers informed me that using the bridge as an anchor is okay with them (2009). Bring very long webbing and just use the bridge if you are going to TR it, or there are a couple of trees closer to the edge you may be able to use. Otherwise, ice screws.
The falls would be a short lead climb.
