Rock fall at the south face

There was a major rock fall at the south face of looking glass last Saturday.  This was a naturally occurring rock fall that came down the rappel line of First return.  Several small trees were damaged as the rock struck near the bottom of the face and broke into smaller pieces.  There was one unconfirmed minor injury to a nearby climber.  If anyone had been on the rappel line they could have been struck by this.

Please remember to wear a helmet along the base of the cliff.  There are many loose rocks above the climbing area and this is the second fall in the last two years.

Heads up
