Comments
This is down in the flats where the gully is steep and deep. A doozy of a terrain trap.
Likely a natural (didn't see any tracks around it).
Depth, width and aspect are very approximate (we were across the gully).
This felt like a meaningful one to share with the team because of how low it was (relative to the ridgeline) and how many tracks there usually are (mine included) in that gully.
