Problem #1 Comments
Found a glide crack on the exit of Hangnail Chute in Cardiff. There were obvious signs of wet slides before the last storm and refreeze. We thought this was just debris, but when we reached the crack could see all the way to the rocks at the ground. Turned around before entering the chute.
