Avalanche

20190314 Unknown time North/North West Slope angle: approx 45-55° 12,000 - 13,391' HS-N-D2/D3- R4-O Most of the Bear Claw face slid. Several different crowns ranging from 2'-8' deep, the debris ran over the natural moraine and piled up closer to treeline. These slides ran approximately 1000-1500'. It jumped ridges and spines propagating all the way to the Southern end of the peak. Biggest we've seen it go in more than few years.
