Comments
Observed this fresh slide on the looker's right side of Coalpit Headwall from Tanner's. No idea which layer it slid on, but it looks quite deep and wide and ran a long way down Coalpit. Could be a PWL slide; I'm not sure how a windslab would form that large in that spot but it's definitely also a possibility.
