Witnessed numerous small dry avalanches on Storm Headwall. Wind was low in the valley but high in the alpine. Significant snow transport was noticed loading the slopes above. 2 avalanches poured over the routes climbers right of Puzzle. Maybe size 1. Definitely large enough to knock a climber off and cause the belayer some troubles.
