Nice line Marty!
On the topic of new ice, Dan Coates and I explored between Quaco Head and Rogers head and found quite a bit of ice. I haven`t seen it anywhere on here and it isn`t in the guidebook...
Close to Browns beach we found some stunning overhanging blue and brown ice mixed together.

Has anyone been here? looks like some really beautiful hard climbs.
We continued down the coast and when we came around the corner we saw this.

Three gully ish routes by a pretty unique hole in the wall.
We hiked in to the line on the far left and rappelled down. Two 60m half ropes got to the bottom with maybe 5 m to spare.

It turned out to be harder than we though with the first 3m or so climbing on chossy, seaweed covered rock and then a big move to get on the pillar.
Beautiful climb, a bit out of our ability to lead. It is steeper than it appears, the first 15 meters are vertical or overhanging with one good rest. I don't trust my experience enough to give it a grade.
Curious if these lines are all virgin? The approach is very short, about a half hour from where you can park a car. If anyone is interested next weekend I would love to go back. I think this is right around the corner from Nautical Disaster in the guidebook...
