Our group of four was descending in a highly managed way. One at a time, observation point to observation point. We arrived at the crux and saw an old slide in the gut of the path, it was small d1/r1. I placed a ski cut above the convexity and got the expected result of another small slide, d1/r1. Once the threat was mitigated we kept our protocols tight.
