Climbed Professor Falls Sunday Nov 27th. Approach took ~1h40m on foot. First half along the road was pure ice underneath thin layer of snow. Trail after breaking right was much better, although still slippery. All pitches were fat and fairly dry. Some thin spots with rocks and running water at the top of some pitches, but overall very manageable. Started P1 at 10am and finished the climb around 1pm. Snow was blowing quite hard during the climb. Temp was fairly warm in the morning but dropped throughout the day. No visible avalanche debris throughout the climb. Some anchors were awkward to reach due to the low snow level in the drainage.
