Time was tight this weekend, so Saturday morning Wayne Barnard and I visited a small area in southern Clinton County near his home. This small 25 to 30 ft. flow has been one of our ice farming projects in past years, but we have not had the opportunity to visit it since 2005. Conditions were very lean this year and only one thin pillar was worth sticking a pick in. Due to the small diamater of the pillar, I suggested we just toprope the skinny thing, but Wayne, always the style purist, said no way and racked up his lead gear. I must say this tiny thing was a delicate bold lead.
