Comments
Cut the slope dropping into Days, stopped and watched it run. The way out down Emma's nearly everything broke under our feet, we stayed on a ridge and wove around trees. Significant remote cracking on the south faving slopes. Overall considerable danger, only saved by how little force the slab had-for now. That could change quickly.
