Rockslide Larch Mtn Trail

There is a slide blocking Larch Mtn trail. This is the top of the switchbacks at Wiesendanger.

It looked as if someone prior has tried to go uphill and around where it was somewhat more stable, but really any movement anywhere near this thing sent loose rock tumbling. Fortunately it's not quite directly above the lower trail sections, but it catches enough of the switchback end that a bouncing rock stands a pretty good chance of connecting with someone's head below.

Sunday 3/6 update: there's now a couple paths semi-flattened out across the slide (high and low). It's still probably a bit sketchy for the kind of traffic that stretch gets, but if you were planning to head up Larch and wondering if this would give you problems now, you're good.
