We’ll preface this by saying that everyone in this rock-climb-goes-wrong video is now safe. But yikes, it did looked sketchy. Sasha Galitzki and her climbing partner Marcus knew there was a possibility of rain when they set out for a day of climbing in Alberta’s Jasper National Park. However, they didn’t expect to be at the 3rd pitch of Rabbit Ears when the cliff developed into a vertical water slide.
According to an interview with regional news outlet Jasper Fitzhugh, the set had currently altered their strategy due to the fact that of the weather (the initial strategy was to take on Meissner’s Ridge). And they ‘d put in a great deal of work to get to where they were on Bunny Ears when the rain became a problem– a big issue.
“There was not a substantial quantity of water, however because of the shape of that mountain you’re climbing up this corner, all of the water on the entire face above us was funneled into this corner we were climbing, which created very rapidly rather a great deal of water coming through that corner under our feet,” Galitzki informed Jasper Fitzhugh.
The viral video is brief and sweet. It reveals Galitzki wedged in the corner as a deluge of water funnels past her. Marcus states some choice words about their situation.
Later, Galitzki published the video on social networks with the caption: “Great day for some rock climbing, eh?”
