Viewed from across the canyon. The South end of Meadows, Pete's line, ran top to bottom. But the photo also shows Ricardos went at a much lower elevation. There were other questionable fracture lines north of Rollo but couldn't get a good photo.

I've made a ton of guesses regarding this slide. I assume it happened somewhat recently due to the well defined crown and debris not being very smoothed by wind loading. From solitude, there didn't appear to be tracks anywhere in silver fork, so it may have naturaled. A lot of the popular areas in SF have similar aspect and slope angle, so I'd also guess it wouldn't take much to pop more loose and get filtered through the trees below
