ice report (no seriously!)

Orby Head, near North Rustico In and fairly fat. about 45 feet, or 15meters plus of ice coming out of the cliffs. January 11th

Two lines are good enough to lead, but I'm not good enough to lead 'em... yet.

It was the first time we set up a top rope down there. Rapped down half way, and edged over about 20 feet to the good ice pillar. Set up the anchor station, took in the rope and rapped off from there. Used the ladder to climb out around the "head-proper"

Still don't know how to get a pic to show up!
