A coveted pair of Japanese fishing gloves nearly cost Martynka Wawrzyniak her life during a trip to the Catskills to climb frozen waterfalls.
The Brooklynite was waiting her turn on a very small ledge in Stony Clove Notch when she dropped one of her new, specially insulated Showa gloves.
“I was very sad to see it go down the cliff, and I reached to try and save it and fell down the entire cliff,” Wawrzyniak told The Post. “It was pretty dramatic because I did a bunch of 360 flips in the air, upside down, hitting various body parts, trying to arrest myself, but everything was covered in ice.”
