Comments
We came across this very large Cornice Fall in the Tony Grove area on Saturday March 11. We guess the cornice broke sometime during yesterdays warm up/rain. This was a massive break with the cornice being 40' tall. It ran a couple thousand feet. Probably the largest cornice fall I've seen in 20+ years riding the area.
