Ezra was hiking with family and friends from Rt 23a to the base of Kaaterskill Falls. Ezra decided that he would climb the steps to the middle basin, and pose at the edge of the second tier of Kaaterskill Falls so that his friends at the base could get a good picture of him. Unfortunately, the wet rock on most waterfalls of the Catskill Mountains have algae on the rocks, and it is very slippery. He fell off the 64' waterfalls to the base of Kaaterskill Falls.
