Observation Rock avalanche

Stuff about the slide is about halfway down. Yikes!<br><br> tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?s...b6b15&threadid=16619

Thanks for the link. That's a scary story, and it is easy to imagine that I might make the same mistakes they did - it is, after all, only September, and only 6" of new. I'm glad they were OK enough to make it out on their own.

scary stuff...anyone know if it was the group that was discussing a spray park ski on saturday on this site was involved in the slide?  <br>

I can't connect to the Teton Gravity site, but one of the group from TAY which skied the Flett yesterday was also at Muir today (along with 90-95% of the membership), and he mentioned no avalanche.  

Heard that Obs rock on 9/16/04 AM was just getting some new snow, but not much. <br><br>My first hand trip there 9/6/04 saw a foot plus of hard snow from last winter covering the ice the whole length and width of the North wall.  In 2003 by late Sept the ice itself was melted down enough for frequent rock fall reports. <br><br>Wonder which is typical?  Muir on 9/19 was fun.

I'm not clear on the point you're trying to make by posting (twice, on two different threads) about this incident. You've added nothing to shared understandings of what happened; instead, you seem motivated by a desire to "out" the participants. I am curious why a first-time, anonymous poster would go to the trouble.<br><br>Notice that those posting on this site are generally quite civil, in deliberate contrast to TGR, CC, Ascensionist, and other sites. That's not an accident.
