Comments

Triggered a soft slab that turned out to be the hangfire of another just previously triggered soft slab on a steep ene facing slope. My hangfire sympathetic'd out another crack a couple hundred feet away down to the left.Crack didn't run due to slope angle. Debris from initial slide was several feet deep as it ran into the steep walled terrain trap/gulley.
