[MCR] Rundle ice

Climbed Proffessor's yesterday. Climbable but definetly not the midseason fat grade 3 pegboard. On friday pitch 1, 2 and 4 were straws with chandeliers hanging off them. It will get easier with some traffic but there was some steep insecure pulling with bad feet, bad tools and awkward gear. Sporty!

 

Christmas Present looked fairly fat and Shampoo Planet and Ten Years After were all in but thin. Sea of Vapours looked climbable but the traverse from Postscriptum was dry. Cascade needs a bunch more cold days.  

 

On Tuesday Parallel Falls was good on the left to a cracking pillar and the right hand had snowed-up rock slabs on pitch 2.. Still very thin. Terrible travelling in that area of K-Country. Not enough snow for skiis but enough weak snow to make for poor walking.
