Hi Listees, I have a quick question for the group - why are some falls not referred to as "hammers" ?
For example, Allende and Holbrook are rarely referred to as hammers, but there are reports that both hit rooftops and other manmade structures. Both falls are generally referred to as "historical" but rarely as hammers. Is there a reason? Is it because the historical element outweighs the hammer element in these cases? Claxton is well known as a hammer, but historically-speaking it's otherwise unremarkable. Is this simply semantics at play, or is there some kind of formula at work? Regards and clear skies, MikeG PS - Michael Blood, please email me offlist. .........................................................
