Ice at Black Hole was awesome yet again today. Late March, climbing ice in Nova Scotia. Who would have thought it? We did a handful of routes that I think rarely come in.
What Dave Did (WDD), WI4, 8m, FFA Dave Willsie, Matt Walker
About 20 metres right of Black Magic, ascend the ramp from the left hand side of the exit snow gully, then pull onto the wall. Overhanging all the way. Short but spicy.
Black Velvet, WI3+, 7m, FFA Dave Willsie, Matt Walker
Starting at the boulder 4 metres right of WDD, the column split by the crack.

Couple of days late I suppose, but Dave and I got into Black hole last week for a bit of late season ice, and possibly snagged another FFA:
Pineing for Gold WI3+. 25m n(T)
FFA Matthew Peck and David Wilsie Mar 2011
about 15 M right of the leftmost line on the main wall the brush gets thicker and climbs the wall. Follow the left side of this, starting above a table-like boulder. 15 m up the wall rears back to vertical, forming a chute around a spruce tree. Climb the chute, around the tree and exit however possible.

You can't take the sky from me.
