Here we investigate in further depth this phase transition using ac-susceptibility and dc-magnetization, and compare this results with Monte-Carlo simulations and previous magnetization and specific heat measurements. We find signatures of an intermediate state between the kagome-ice and full polarization.  This signatures are absent in current theoretical models used to describe spin-ice materials.</p><p><strong>Received:</strong> 17 May 2015, <strong> </strong><strong>Accepted:</strong> 12 June 2015; <strong>Edited by:</strong> A.
