Condor, that was a 7 foot offset. The rip was 145 miles long, with a maximum offset of 26 feet. The fault ran under several glaciers, where the rip was highly visible for long distances. The quake caused a landslide of 40 million cubic meters of material that ran 5 or 6 miles. It happened in a sparsely populated area, but it is the same kind of strike-slip fault they have in California. God help Los Angeles or San Francisco when the "big one" comes.
