We remote triggered a wind slab on Roll In cliffs that propagated the full width of the chute and around the corner (approximately. 100ft) while skinning up - size 1.5R4 and knocked one person off his feet. The crown was around 16in and we think slid on the interface from the most recent storm.Photo:
