Huge landslide in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho

[ClevelandBrown]

Baron Spire, also known as Smoothie by local climbers, took a tumble and is no more after a 4.7 earthquake triggered a fall on Friday night.

Had some buddies whose camp was inundated with the debris and ran for their lives, one breaking a toe and all receiving treatment for dirt inhalation. They were planning on climbing Smoothie the next morning!

Video: The guy is annoying in the video but you can understand the amazement he has watching this

Yeah no emotive describes it.  Glad they are safe!   Just getting out of 2020 alive is a win.
