Comments
Tender cornices. We heard one heavy boom that lasted about 2 or 3 seconds on the other side of the ridge from our position but I don't think it released. It may have been 100 meters away or 1000 meters. A BC Parks crew at Lindeman Lake 1000 meters below us also heard it. Last photo is Rexford.
