Spotted this slide just below the top of Scott’s Bluff. Appeared to be triggered from a natural cornice drop late last night or this morning. The crown revealed that it slid on facets, there was not much of the October crust in the bed surface, it seemed to have broken down and was barley visible. The slide left a large debris pile in the trees, and the whole face of the slope that didn’t slide was covered in shooting cracks that spiderwebbed everywhere
