Comments
This ran from the top of the ridge nearly to the trail--about 2000 ft in total. At 7:50am, we heard three large gunshot-like cracks. In total, it rumbled for over two minutes with a lot of rocks involved. It seems to have been triggered by a cornice. It appeared to go all the way down to the facets near the ground.
