Comments
Stairs released at some point in the last 24 hrs. Went up yesterday to verify submitted ob and could only see evidence of rollerballing, loose wet, and maybe a wet slab or two. Went again this afternoon to check and, well, there ya have it. According to Greg, "when ducks are in the pond under Circle All and Stairs has slid, the season's over". I guess we're done here.
