[MCR] Rock fall on Edith Center Peak

I guided the Kain route on Mount Louis today with one guest.  We were heading back down the Edith Pass trail when suddenly I heard a big Noise and a HUGE section on Mt. Edith Center Peak broke loose.  We were in thick forest but through a gap I saw the whole thing.  We had to run up hill to make sure we were out of the way!  We could hear Volkswagen size rocks crashing thru the forest.  I hate to think what the outcome would have been like if we were 5 minutes further.
