Description
Ice climbing on Kinder downfall, Kinder Scout, Derbyshire Peak District, England, UK
Ice climbers climbing a frozen waterfall ,Kinder Downfall on Kinder Scout, Derbyshire Peak District National Park. Several days of freezing temperatures have created conditions normally only found in Alpine Countries.
Kinder Downfall is the tallest waterfall in the Peak District, with a 30-metre (98 ft) fall. The waterfall was formerly known as Kinder Scut, and it is from this that the plateau derives its name. Although usually little more than a trickle in summer, in spate conditions it is impressive. In certain wind conditions (notably when there is a strong west wind), the water is blown back on itself, and the resulting cloud of spray can be seen from several miles away. The Pennine Way crosses the River Kinder above Kinder Downfall. When frozen in hard winters, the waterfall is a venue for ice-climbing,
