More gliding in Broads Fork. A relatively small one came down on Diving Board. Crown 5 feet, width 100 feet, distance 1,000 vertical feet. Seems like it came down Thursday afternoon, though I wasn’t out Thursday so all I know for sure is it came down between 2pm Weds, when I last saw Broads, and 11am Friday, when I gained the Porter Fork/Mill B ridge and saw this most recent glide. Photo is from 8,000 feet elevation in Mill B North, about 3 miles from Diving Board. Wednesday’s glide on Blue Ice is in black, Thursday’s glide on Diving Board is in red.
