Description
The fattest piece of ice in Orient Bay. Pretty straight forward once you reach the base. Pick your line and shoot. There are rap stations all along the edges and at least one at the very top.
Location
SNOWSHOES ARE REQUIRED! Approach will take 30 min to 1 hr depending on if you are breaking trail. To get to this route park at the pump station, cross the road and follow the power cuts straight into the woods. You will be following the cliff line for a while and a flagged trail will appear. The trail will lead you onto a creek (watch it I almost fell through). At this point Gomar will be standing above you and will get bigger and bigger the closer you get. To see this route from the road, pass the pump station, look back to your right. It is on the north facing cliff and is impossible to miss.
