Had a great day with my old climbing buddy Jason, it has
been awhile since we climbed some ice together. Originally I was super keen for a ski day and ideally a
summit, but warm weather and spring conditions were ripe for isothermic snow,
so Jason and I headed to The Professor Falls, a.k.a. Professor’s.
I think I first climbed Professor’s with Ian Hunt, Andy
Meyers and Geoff (?) in December of 1995.
I am fairly sure I repeated the route in 96, 97, 98, 99 and I sure the
last time I was there was in March of 2000 with Shawn Klimchuk.
This winter I have hit a couple of routes I did with Ian
back in the day BITD, Coire Dubh Integrale and Guinness Gully and last weekend,
Professor’s. Cloudy and brisk day
with light snow and temps around -3 all day, solid and beautiful blue ice on
Professor’s. I lead a couple of the lower pitches, JW a few of upper pitches
and a bit of easy soloing in the middle.
Great day with a great friend on a great route; best ice day in a long
time.
