Narrowly avoided a significant sluff that came out of the trees above Louise Falls and poured over the main pillar as a second was on the steepest part. Would have caused a leader topping out considerable issue. We declined to top out as the top pitch though easy doesn't have any protection for approximately 50 feet to the anchor.
