Comments
I am glad this small cornice set it off (glad it was so sensitive). I think that the rocky bed played a big role. we went up and down the ridge and tried to get some others to go. the cornices were very small (20 pounds), maby slightly less steep, and maby a different bed, coudnt get em to go.
