Comments
Conehead slid overnight/this morning. No tracks in or out. 60ft is a very rough guess for the width of the crown, visibility was poor and didn't want to get too close to the edge as there were still cornices/wind slab.
Comments
Ted L.
Was walking out the peak 5 gate today at canyons when noticed cone head had slid massively.
Even from a far you could see a skiers track skiing soulpatch had triggered the slide below, which propagated over where the cliff band ends and into the terrain below, then several hundred yards up the slope into conehead proper.
