Planned to ski north face of Swiss. Got to the base of south face at 1030 and sun was baking the rock sending down lots of natural dry loose sluff with multiple point releases as well. We decided to bail after a larger one crashed down with that would have totally sweeped us off the slope. Next time we’ll get up earlier.
