Laser Scan of Frank Slide Headwall
(scanned from the North Peak)
The images above represent scans obtained from the North Peak of the mountain towards the rubbly, unstable area at the head of the 1903 Frank Slide.  With a data density of >>> you can clearly see the large blocks and trees in this zone.  While very high resolution data can be collected, there are issues with instrument range and limitations regarding access to suitable set up areas that limit the ability of this technique to scan large areas but it is very promising for smaller zones.  This is discussed in more detail in the paper by Sturzenegger et al (2007)
