Comments
Witnessed several small fractures like the observation noted while crossing over ridgelines in the trees. Although small and seemingly insignificant, I would note that observing from below at higher elevations over 9500ft. winds were high and heavily loading the north, north west, and west aspects. Chose to stay low away from the wind in safer terrain.
