Generally speaking the hazard is increasing with the continual gradual development of a larger slab on the nov 9 interface. Stepping back from steeper, larger and unsupported terrain ( and terrain with overhead hazard )

Steep unsupported slope was triggered while traversing above and away from the slope. Slid on Nov 9th crust facet layer, which was pretty much on the ground in this location
