Ain't the first time. Probably not the last.
I recall a good one in 1982(ish) before any of that junk was ever bolted.
Thank god it has only happened on wet winter days.

And the peregrines nested on top of it last year. I'm sure they'll find another spot.

Yeah, I remember one really big rockfall mid-late 90s and a smaller one after. Im sure its been falling since they blasted it. Climbing there in the winter, youd get some sand and small pebbles trickling down sometimes. Scary. I dont think Ill be climbing there nymore, even if some routes are salvageable. Maybe transmogg or spaceman spiff got junked up at the base? Wonder what its gonna look like after they clean em all up.

Willoughby, that's really cool about the peregrines, but they'll definitely find other good spots. I've seen a marten up there too (base of Black Wall), in hot pursuit of a shrieking squirrel in broad daylight. Not your textbook conifer forest, but obviously worked for that animal. Sorry, thread drift.

I bet they push it all to the base of Escargot... too bad, good spot for a winter day.
