My partner and I took advantage of the great weather today, and climbed Monster Crack on the West Face of Gray/Kindergarten Rock. I've been looking at Footloose & Fancy Free for some time, and thinking about giving it a go. When I looked over at it today, it appears that a large section of the left-facing dihedral about 50 feet up was gone. I only looked at the route once before, so I could be mistaken, but does anybody know if a section of that route came down recently? If that's the case has anyone climbed it since the rock fall and know how it climbs now?
Thanks.

Alex,
I seriously doubt that was the case. I climbed this last fall, and again about a month ago, and the rock all the way up the dihedral was the same, and very solid.

Go give it a go! And get ready for the hardest .11a you've ever climbed. This route fits into the example of those that defy the current YDS. The hardest move may only be .11a, but it's seriously sustained once you pull the first roof. I've climbed .12s that didn't feel this hard. Enjoy!
