| So I had my fried egg and sausage breakfast Boissant sandwich at Bagels+ and then drove over to the North End of Cathedral this morning. I was a bit surprised to see that much of the ice that had slid down from the slab several days ago was still there at the bottom! This, in spite of a bunch of 60+ degree days, followed by some pretty amazing torrential rains over the past few daze. I normally don't put videos directly on the NEClimbs.com web site, but I thought you might find these interesting. The rain one is from Tuesday and the ice from Thursday.

| All ice is dangerous.
Grade 4 pillars are pumpy.
Grade 5 pillars are pumpy and dangerous.
Except for certain rare days of triple-high biorythms and favorable planetary alignments, grade 6 is beyond reach. |

BEWARE! That ice above the North End is just waiting to come down.
