Huge Rockfall on Middle Cathedral



No climbers were hurt, however this was the second major rockfall on this formation in under a month. It was quite close to the old Harding route, the North Buttress, Grade V, 5.10. I climbed this 22 pitch route almost 35 year ago with my South African friend Richard. (Oh, on a related note, El Presidente took a 40 foot whipper on the 9th pitch.)
