This waterfall may have more than two drops, however, the only pictures we've seen only show two drops. The only height figures we've seen is from a report posted by Ice Climbers. The topo maps indicate the total drop could be over 800 meters (we won't speculate beyond that until we see further proof), the largest drop appearing to me around 200 meters (that being the final drop). The topo maps suggest a long slide, a horsetail, interstitial cascades, then the final horsetail. The photos we've seen only show the tiered horsetails. The upper falls aren't visible from the valley floor.
