H/T @drewbrayshaw@twitter.com for the alert, but there has been a pretty sizeable #rockfall on #SnowpatchSpire in the #Bugaboos that has destroyed some popular climbing routes. The #landslide appears to have happened today or maybe late yesterday, based on available #satellite imagery, and crashed onto the #glacier below. No recorded #earthquakes that could have triggered the failure.
