only one fatality, but for those climbing in the area, this must have been hair-raising.

I'm always scared to hear about such cases.
Hope you guys will be careful.

Sad, certainly one of those wrong place, wrong time incidents that keep some folks on the couch. A second, larger rockfall occurred yesterday but the area has been kept clear so nobody was hurt.

"Exfoliating granite" sounds like a beauty parlor service, not an opportunity to become one with nature.

I've seen some of the photos and videos. Scary!
