Climber hit by falling ice...

Help Support vftt.org:
Waterfall ice tends to be unpredictable in warm weather. On the plus side, the ice is pliable and takes ice screws with relative ease. The downside is that the screws don’t hold well, can melt out and there is likely to be ice fall from melting ice above, as well as delamination of the ice from the rock. Not great conditions but, as we see time and time again, many folks will just go for it.
And don't forget the inherent possibility of releasing a pressure dam.
