Comments
Two slides triggered remotely while skinning up Sheepshit Ridge. Closest broke 100' away, was 80' wide and ran 200'. Second slide was another 100' from the first and broke sympathetically. It was about the size as the first. Tension cracks propagated 100 yards along the corniced ridgeline. Firewater did not slide.
