First time getting dusted at the cave belay on Louise Falls by a slide on Mount Fairview. Numerous and repeated large avalanches of Fairview and loud rumbles from further up the valley. Probably 20 cms or more on the middle pitch, a few sluffs down the climb but light snow that was dealt with by the leader.
