Congrats on retiring!

The potential for erosion definitely increases with slope percentage but the vast majority of Bjarne's video footage is on helicopter ground.

yes the helicopter angle would seem to be a major plus.

Nice!
I love the curf cuts for the rigging rope to bind at the marl and such. Great idea on slickery chunks

Think he should've cut his faces deeper to reduce levering it off the stem?

Hard to arm chair that from ground level on a vid.
Smaller gob will do less damage on a structure too some thing go wrong

At the very basic level, a shallow face set at something more than 1/3rd of the diameter will leave the stem with less push back and thus less generated recoil movement to the standing stem. That's because the hinge is forced to break by the closure of the face earlier in the fall than with a more open face, so the stem gets pushed back less before the top leaves the scene.
