View of the slide my partner...

View of the slide my partner and I triggered on June 5, 2005. It was a slab, waiting to happen. The weakness being along the bases of the rocks on either side. In fact my partner was heading to the rocks at right due to feeling unsafe on the slope when it fractured. It broke about 18" deep, about 300' across on about a 40 degree slope and ran about 1000'. For some perspective on the size, see my other photo of the slide taken the next day from the summit of the Middle. Photo by Trevor Bain
