Comments
Around 10 AM we witnessed a relatively small natural cornice fall. It entrained some of the weakening dry snow but not a particularly large avalanche. The concern here being the significantly larger cornices still lingering on the ridge. Pictured below are cornice chunks 600+ feet below the ridge and the remaining monster.
