Avalanche Description:
Putting binoculars on Peak 1 from my house in Breck, I observed that the south face ripped out from the middle of the cirque between Peaks 1 and 2 to lookers left edge of the ironing board (not taking the board with it). A substantial chunk of hang fire remains below the summit. The debris field appears to have filled much of the cirque between peaks 1 and 2. The lookers left crown seems to be well over 10 ft dimishing in height as it wraps south. I'm too far away to get a good photo.
