Comments
Triggered a soft slab skinning up between Little Superior and Superior. It ran a decent length, and is right in line with the forecast for a wind loaded pocket/soft slab triggering on shallow rocks. I was in the 3rd or 4th group heading up and it popped as I was skinning across what you can see in the photo.
