Mr Kirkpatrick said climbers only explored the lower half of the waterfall, due to the ice not being strong enough to climb all the way to the top.
Continuing freezing temperatures may mean the ice could be strong enough to climb all the way to the top next weekend, Mr Kirkpatrick added.
Kinder Downfall has become a popular attraction among climbers over the winter months due to its tendency to freeze over in cold temperatures.
It is not the first time the waterfall has frozen over in this way and has become a popular attraction for daredevil ice climbers at this time of year.
