Not the best picture, but I was on 8208 early this morning on the death crust and rills and got a glimpse of the Bunchgrass ridge that was impressive. I did not have time to investigate closer, but assumed they are naturals. Did not run far, but most of the ridge released with a some causing sizeable debris piles. Also saw several N to NE facing crowns on my down the canyon.
