General Comments

Just observed from the road I would say it came out in our last storm natural cycle, if i were to guess probably similar to the Scrappies side at PM Sun to Mon time frame. Big cornices form here and rock slabs below looks like it did wipe out the whole path to the ground. Not the only slide in the cirque here
