This slide observed off SE facing Chipman Peak was not from today, most likely from the Friday 3/15 natural wet cycle that was noted throughout the central Wasatch. This piece connected as a slab as last week's new snow took Friday's sun, running on the interface. This was the only slab we saw connect off the AF ridgeline or in Red Pine, Maybird, or Hogum. All other activity was wet loose (some quite sizeable) on W-S-E faces and some cornice fall off the western Hogum headwall.
Debris down to lower rock in path ~halfway down left side of photo.
