I thought that PTPP did a great job of not reaching through the phone to slap the interviewer. After a discussion of the climb being next to a waterfall and a bonus description of the specific waterfall...

What's the name of the route?
The Waterfall Route

Can you say that again?
The Waterfall Route

Are you saying water..faal?
Waterfall

Water..full?
Waterfall

Can you say it again?

Is that a climber in red on the right wide of the before picture on that gigapan? About 1/4 from the top and about 1/8 from the right side.

10 minutes ago from Tribal Rite.

This looked like a 20 story building coming down. The wall vibrated- stay away for a time.

Wow! That's an amazing picture Contractor.

Waiting to see the "after" picture from this second big fall...


Hope nobody was below looking for victims or investigating. Obvious now that it's not the place to be for a while.

Granite dust came all the way into the Village from El Cap

I first thought the rock fall was over by Camp 4 as the dust cloud was so huge ...
