Funky climbing and avalanches

Climbed Louise Falls this morning. The route us in good shape with funky WI 4/4+ chimney climbing on the crux pillar. it wasn't too strenuous but had some funky stemming positions and it felt like a lot of left handed screws.

Some dagger hazard exists but is less threatening on the left side.

We also witnessed an avalanche cycle to size 2.5 from strong alpine winds between 10 and noon on the north side of Mt Fairview.
