TetonAT- "the importance of islands of Safety"
They where lucky.

Similar thing happened to me about 8 years ago while I was climbing the East Face of Teewintot in the Tetons.
We had made the summit and where downclimbing to a short steep section that exits you out of the main upper face. I was about to enter the constriction when a huge wet slide comes from above and passes about 6 feet from where I am standing. Wasn't survivable as it would have taken me down a 1000 ft of rock studded apron. Very scary moment. I downclimbed that section after the wet slide had passed convinced I was going to die.
