Comments
Remote trigger a short run (50m) slab of varying thickness (30-100cm) on very low angle convex roll (15-20’). The crown ran around the side of hill (100+m). Very low energy due to short length, not enough energy to break up blocks. The slab was triggered after a very slight settling approximately 50-75 m away on very low angle ramp adjacent to the face that slid.
