Looks like most of the Corkscrew face went with the last storm cycle. A crown was observed right below the upper ridge, and along some of the small gaps ~2/3 up the slope. Was probably triggered by wind loading from ridge and then broke on the deep faceted weak layer we have been observing on similar slopes.
