Quick report

Weather
warm

Lots of debris on the final pitches of Professor Falls. The last ice pitch was so deeply buried that it was less than 10m and all the rambly ice was covered. The slide seemed to come from the right hand gully (while climbing) facing the Trophy Wall, but still debris from above the last pitch too
