Professor Falls
We did all 6 pitches...two other parties bailed on that last and most difficult pitch. It was extremely wet and hard to make any good placements. Adam led the pitch and chopped away at it for ever. Using bikes on the approach was definitely worth it. Once we topped out, we scrambled up ice and snow to the right and caught a glimpse of one of the extreme routes to the west. Did I count 5 full raps? The way those benches run out, it makes for more rappels than you would think.

Excellent climb in a very nice setting. Bottom pitches dry and a bit brittle, last pitch wet and airy with no pro. A party on Sea of Vapours was entertaining to watch from the top.
