A break in the clouds showed us a crown on Lane's Leap. Viewed from a distance, details were hard to make out. This may have been remotely triggered, we saw a skinner going up 10420's west ridge earlier in the day. Seen at 11 AM. Also pictured is the guardsman road cut, same aspect @9000' giving shooting cracks with a big whumph after being stepped on.
