Comments
Saw this slide from the top of Circle Awl. The slide occurred on an almost identical slope as the gobblers slide on the 21st.I found 2" of new snow on the debris and comparing to overnight snow amounts, I would guess the slide occurred around 2000 on the 24th. My camera battery died shortly after getting a photo from the top of circle awl so no detailed debris or crown photos.
