Comments
There was a large natural avalanche over Cascade Waterfall today. Hard to say the exact timing, but sometime between 12:00 - 2:00 pm. The sun came out about 1:30, that may have been the trigger.
Lots of fresh debris obvious right down to the bottom of the climb but the start zone is not so obvious. Look carefully at the picture and you will see a blown in fracture line in the second gully from the left. That might be it, but it looks too drifted, making it hard to know for sure where this started from.
