If they've climbed up above the second fall, the first falls, that's going to be a different kind of thing to get them up and around it back down.

Oh, Coymont, I'm checking the coordinates on that right now to see if we need to get a high angle bunch.

If he jumped off a lot, I'm almost betting it's that second one with a big cascading waterfalls up above that first one.
