Dang, those rock-fall source before and after pictures are so interesting. They make you immediately see how it probably works. That downward-projecting triangle of rock is heavy.
Always had a thing for mass-wasting.

Having had two pretty hairy experiences with rockfall through the years, this kind of gives me the willies.

Here's the base in April - remember noticing a number of white blocks with that semi-fresh look to them, like the big field of boulders that the south side of the Mirror trail cuts through. But who knows how long they may have been there.
And looking up the West Gulley from the start

Gstock: do you use some sort of software to identify the before/after differences, or it that based on a well-trained eye? Thanks for the images, very interesting.

Look for fresh rocks/dust.
Then look straight up! :-)

I was waiting for Greg's post for several days, then I got distracted and forgot to check back. Thanks for your excellent posts and commentary. Whenever there's a rockfall event, I've learned to expect Greg to give us the real news. As always, you don't disappoint.

Greg, did you ever figure out the origin point for the one I mentioned to you when I did LF with Gomz in May 2009?

Maybe the rockfall took care of that annoying fixed rope just to the right?
