i have a camera and a few photos but my camera died after the first climb..... I can post them on facebook today.... as for details to get there. Cape Maringouin in accessed by Pink Rock RD in Lower Rockport. It is about 30-45 minutes depending on how fast you hike. the routes are numbered from 1 being the furthest anyway looking down the beach and 17 being the first one you arrive to. mainly because I counted then this way. 1 is ice rain, 2 is 3 days of feasting, 13 is winter monkey, 14 has is the tallest and widest flow and has 2 lines at WI4 the right most being 2 Planes of Ice. the first flow you get to is Fat So WI 2-3. The ice photo from rockport I led a week ago and set a TR on the top it after took 13cm screws. rockport has the lest amount of ice in the area. cape maringouin the most with everything being moderate WI3 and 4 and dorchester having the longest and hardest routes from 3+ to 4+/5 bepending what forms. also the routes in dorchester need 2 ropes for TR unless you have a 70m which just touches down on the longest routes. i wish i could get out with you guys stacey but I brusied my lower back and am moving slow I should be back in a week or so. hope this information helps.

Thanks Max - that is great.
I'm hoping to get in this weekend to check it out - but with this mild weather, I'm not sure if it's worth it - -
Hope you feel better soon - - we'll get out on ice soon!
