Comments
Saw this between runs hiking sidecountry with friends at Canyons today between 9990 top and Dutch Draw. Didn't look too big but could have swept someone down a couple hundred feet. Hiking at around 11am, it was not there, and then on the next hike through the same area it had broken. Either someone broke the cornice off to test stability or it occurred naturally, as there did not appear to be any tracks coming out of it.
