Hiking out of peak 5 at the canyons resort to shoot photos. We new things were sensitive, so we mitigated our shots in safe zones. We had quite a few cracks in the upper part of the zone. The top how ever was steeper and more stable, once we had gotten to the lower run out below the trees things were way more sensitive and simple ski cuts were pulling out pockets really easily. they were shallow and small so we felt safe setting up a shot knowing that it would slide. and it did, it was larger than we thought it may be, but moved slow and i rode it for about 20 feet. always know its good to keep you guys keen to everything for the greater good.
