Comments
Very large explosive triggered avalanche averaging 5' deep... but up to 15' deep where it pulled into ridgeline cornice, far lookers right in image above.
Ted and Craig feelin' pretty small on a big Uita slope.
Ted stands by an average section of the crown, which is repsectable in its own right.
And here.... I'm dwarfed by a sizeable chunk o' crown which gets thicker and meatier over my shoulder
Hmm... wonder why it's called Lone Tree. Bet this guy's got a story or two to tell
