Nothing too notable, we were walking along the ridge trying to get a peek at the cornice at the top of South Monitor this morning. Right as I approached a low point I thought I heard a collapse. It took me a minute to notice that 50' in front of me, on the slope below the cornice, a small pocket had ripped out. Only 3" deep and 50' wide, we watched it sift through the trees.
