Observations from valley bottom. Unknown crown depth, size, character, weak layers etc. Likely happened the night of the 14th/15th. Trigger point appears to be at the top of the smaller diamond face, on a convexity surrounded by shallow rocky outcrops, likely the weak point that triggered the slide. Runout appears to be beyond the second switchback.
