Appears to be a cornice fall onto the slope. The crown at the top of the slide seems to be around 5 ft. Did not notice crowns and debris from below, in Rescue Creek. Noticed when dropped into run. Party reports it's possible that they triggered the cornice fall remotely from opposite side of ridge while ascending.
