Comments
I observed this large slide from 10410. This side of Clayton has all the elements for a large slide like this given our current pack & problems.
All measurements are estimates. Crown appeared fresh. No obvious tracks entering the path but still called in to Brighton patrol as this is heavily trafficked BACKcountry.
