Description

Not quite sure why I haven't seen info on this, or why it wasn't posted anywhere. In my opinion this was the best piece of ice at the quarry, definetly the longest, and was in the best condition. Maybe different patterns of water run off has enabled it to form only in recent seasons? Start up a steeper flow that eases up after 15 feet. Continue up low angle but pleseant ice for another 15 or so feet until surmounting a final bulge of ice at the top.

Setting up a top rope could be difficult without leading. The rock section above the last bit of ice is overhung, and would make setting up an efficient top rope rather annoying...

Location

Seperate from the main wall of ice in the far back to the right, is another taller wall with a gully in its center. If there is any ice in on the main wall, this will be visable about 100 meters to the southeast. The gully wall is more protected from the sun and seems like it would be in better conditions more often.
