Back in '07, the ice quality and quantity was better than John and I had this year. http://www.gravsports-ice.com/icethreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/217/Better_Than_Solstice,_F&D
In the lower section the ice was not well attached to the rock, was super dry and aerated and where it transitioned from near vertical to lower angle, was only about 1 cm thick; difficult to protect. After the first 30 metres, the ice improved greatly. John and I had a lot of fun of this early season route.
