Went up George's today and on my way up ran into another party coming down. They gave me a heads up that it was "touchy" and said that they had triggered some stuff remotely. Saw this large slide when I got near the top and am assuming this is what they were referring to as there were tracks in the area. Not surprisingly, it broke in a thin, rocky area of the slope. I also observed multiple other small natural avalanches on steep rollovers throughout the day. Saw lots of cracking and also experienced several large collapses when nearing any steep section of slope. Definitely need to watch your slope angles until things settle a bit.
