has it been climbed before? makes me want to get down there and give it a go. sweet looking line

I've lead the long skinny one to the right of the one on the left. The weather burned our chances of further routes... and Chris' stomache was growling something fierce.

If the weather holds we're planning on going back for a mini ice fest.. maybe even camp for a night or so.

There's at least 8 really nice looking lines in there. The highest being around 180'- that'd be the long skinny ones.

I assume you mean the ones on the rock face and not the short pillar on the left end of the main falls?

I'm talking about that long couloir stuff on the rock faces. Looks frikin wicked. Is it realy 180'? Doesn't look that high.

I think a guy named Chris Gobal has climbed just about everything in NS. Him and his Dad sound like they were quite busy a few years ago- maybe a decade.

You can read about him by doing a search in google.rec.climbing for ns ice- I think that's what it was anyway.

The biggest ice I've sen so far in NS is at Cape D'or. Probably 270' straight up.

Yeah the rock face one- there's actually a pic of me on it in the Canadian Alpine Journal. I forget which year- around the turn of the century though. Hehehe- turn of the century. heheheh

All 3 lines (you can't see the third) are aprox. 180' ft. I have heard that Chris Goble did most of the lines here. Did he do those lines? I couldn't say. There are several mixed ice routes forming but they would be hella hard. You should come down and give them a go, bring your trad rack cause the ice is very thin in places. The approach is getting hard cause the river is not completly frozen and the road is about 6 km each way. Great if you have an ATV or ski-doo.
