I noticed this one later on Tuesday 4-11-23. I think it happened Tuesday afternoon. It is on the South side

of a West ridge. It is at least a half mile North of Big Baldy shoulder. A large deep area of slab pulled out. It has a complex Crown Fracture that looks like a Rorscach Test. (Don't ask what I see... Oh no, I insist, you first.) It probably left a nice big pile of debris on the Great Western Trail that runs below. Probably a lot lower. It looks like it could potentially drop down Battle Creek and affect that trail.
