Any other comments about the observation or links to outside pages that have more info on the observation:
Throughout the day, we did hear whumphs and feel collapses, but much fewer than anticipated. At one point, poor route selection caused us to cross a steep, poorly anchored slope that collapsed but did not release. No natural activity was noted.
