Description
Climb all three separated ice flows with they're pillar cruxes at the start easiest on the east side (WI3+) and hardest on the west side(WI4). After the cruxes sustained (WI3) to the top. Thick perfect condition ice. Always in the shade. I soloed them during the winter.
The ice remains sometimes into the month of May. That's when I first noticed it, while rock climbing on Owl's Head cliff.

Location
Opposite Owl's Head cliff and 2+ miles uphill on the Appalachian Trail until the frozen over snow covered pond/bog is reached. Go east across this pond to its far eastern side and head uphill to the Mini-Ravine Amphitheater.
Snowshoes have to be worn for the approach and especially across the pond/bog, you'll sink into the snow without snowshoes because of the decomposing organic matter's perpetual heat. It's a long approach to this ice arena. Apparently conditions vary from year to year dependent on the amount of snowfall accumulation.
