I just saw this little slab this morning while scoping the north end of the Wellsvilles. Looks like it may have started as a point release and then slabbed out into a much larger slide. I would guess it's at about 8600 ft. Haven't had too much of a chance to check out details... you know, chasing kids and all. Here's a pic for you to look at and hopefully the air will stay a little more clear today than usual so you can look for yourselves.
