What looks like another glide in Broads Fork, near the top of Bonkers. Observed from Kessler, so can't be 100% sure it is a glide, but looks like rock slabs as the bed surface in the photo. This is a little upslope of the usual spot where glides release in upper Bonkers (the cliff band just below the new glide in the photo has springs on it), but there are tons of rock slabs everywhere up there. One thing interesting about some of these glides, is they often appear to come out on a cold night that follows warmer temperatures.
