Description:

These aptly named falls are about 1 mile west and south from the inlet to loch gorge is a set of falls right near the timberline. A lower and shorter set of falls lead to a grand finally of about 80 feet of WI3. The lower section is thin and hard to protect. This climb fills in in the winter, so grab it in late fall. This climb is worth the extra hiking.

Descent Options:

There is a hiking trail to climbers right of the falls, but we couldnt find it. It is possible to rappel off trees to get to the base of the climb. Hike onto the lake and then follow up over a notch on the left, there was a half-assed trail here. This
