Comments

We observed faint whumfing 2 or 3 times during the day, in the alpine.
We remote triggered this chain of slides when we dripped in from tge skyline ridge, about 15m right of the rightmost slide.
The first slide debris is in the foreground. 3 more separate slides occured along the ridge, almost as far as you can see.
Our uptrack was partially buried by the 3rd slide. The 4th slide occured below the bench that we had uptracked on.
