For the fifth time, residents heard a massive crash coming from the Stawamus Chief.

On the evening of Nov. 19, rocks fell from the second peak.

Local resident Alexis Birkill captured the fall on his site, chiefcam.com.

While the fall was loud, it is significantly less severe than the last slide in September.

The camera shows sparks from rocks plummeting from second peak and skidding near Sheriff's Badge, also known as The Witch.
