I remotely triggered a decent slide in the trees in boss canyon on the furthest south wall,, i was sidehilling and came to a stop to watch the alley in front of me come down.. was a little nerve racking but I was in a pretty safe spot so I just watched it go down in front of me 30ft-40ft ahead. It broke about 150 yards up the hill and piled up in the bottom as seen on the probe marks.. aspect was n facing 36-38° elevation 8200ft.
