Skinning up the pole line in LCC had to cut short trip so ended up having to make some new tracks uphill along Flagstaff Shoulder. Just as I was passing over the shoulder on about 30deg slope I remotely triggered this slide about 10 feet above me. It was about 20 feet wide and it slid only for a few feet directly onto me but did not carry me. There was extensive cracking to the north of my trigger but it didn't slide.
I then bailed and went home.
