This popular route will surely see some action, so I hope climbers see this.

I'd put up a separate thread, maybe not with all the photos and details, but just a warning about the loose rock etc.

Dwight, was the boulder leaning off towards space? or did some jackass trundle the thing?!

It was very large...maybe 8'x8'x10', no freezing, rain etc. but who knows. Wasn't a particularly steep stance. The good news is this is an isolated event...not like the Cap Rock is exfoliating. Anyway, I'll be posting Tollhouse to warn of the area and providing numbers to report a human inspired event. I ::think it is a possibility.
Will be putting together a Clean up event with localsin the near future...come join and bring a helmet!
Hope all's good with you...dwight

I was thinking we could clear the area below, and on rappel trundle small stuff. But take a haulbag and lower it off with us from the big tree, then fill it with the bigger blocks and use a 2:1 big wall haul to bring it back up, so we don't damage hardware below. Let me know if a crew takes shape.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. That boulder has been there for a long time and it wasn't steep at all there.
