Just around the corner, south of Deep Pockets and facing George's Bowl. Looked like wet loose point-release from the base of rock bands just below the summit (ridge) stepped down possibly 12-18" and broke a pyramidal shaped crown to either side. Several more wet loose sloughs running short distances from the lower rock band, no other slab releases noted in the immediate area. Evidence of wind effect at all elevations in this area of the drainage down to the stream just below 8,200' (calm breezes at most throughout the latter half of today).
