For those of you climbing in, around and/ or traveling below the Diamond.  Inevitable further sliding of multiple very large rocks perched directly over Centerfold.  If it goes when you’re below, at least it will be quick. Tell your friends.

Thanks for the warning. 

Did the blocks originate from that ledge, or did they drop down from higher?

Appears to have slid out from just above, taking a couple decent sized trees with it.  Some rocks are teetering over the edge, being held up by stiff grass.

James, thanks for sharing!

Any chance you’d be willing to be part of a removal effort effort? I would be happy to get up there during this next rain cycle and take care of this situation.

It’s always good to know some tree people.
