I have heard there is actually a second part of the dungeon on top of the waterfall where you fight Falmer.
I think you are referring to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Stony_Creek_Cave and its unusual path into http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Kagrenzel.
I often approach Faldar's Tooth from the rocky ridge to the southeast. Those bandits usually spot me right away, and generally come in two groups up each side of the fort. A well-placed Frenzy takes the heat off me for a time. The last time I went there, the bandit chief and the wolf that lurks on the stairs of his tower were passing the uppermost window. I could see an occasional flickering, so I took careful aim and shot arrows through the window, and I managed to kill them both!
