Comments
Natural avalanche above "The Professor Falls" with the powder cloud going over the upper pitches of the climb. Debris over the climbing trail below the upper pitch. Suspect it was triggered by a cornice failure.
Multiple other natural avalanches from size 1 to 2.5 on Mt Rundle and Cascade occurred overnight and Saturday morning on N-E-S aspects in the alpine.
