Ted and I were headed to Upper Moffit Basin yesterday to work on a weather station and rolled up to a rather well-connected, cornice triggered slide off the east side of Windy Peak, most likely occurring sometime late Saturday. We couldn't make our way to the crown, but I'd estimate a solid 10' deep x 600' wide... definitely eye catching. No other breaking news other than some subtle collapses noted yesterday
