sprocket Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 We were climbing at the left side of the crag today when a rather large rockfall event swept over the right side of the crag. Started as a rumble from above, my belayer thought it might be thunder, then booming and a large cloud of dust ensued. Very attention getting and unnerving. Fortunately there was no one over there and we didn't investigate after finishing the pitch other than to look at snags that got hit. Seems like it started above the crag and there wouldn't have been much one could have done if you were climbing at the time. Not sure if this is a common occuerence at this crag or Icicle Creek in general. The right side of the crag seems fairly exposed to rockfall from above. Quote
Lisa_D Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 scary--glad you guys didn't get it. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
miladugga Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Wow, glad this didn't happen two weeks ago when we were climbing on the right side. Glad it missed you... Quote
sprocket Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks, I'm glad no one got hurt. It's a fairly popular crag and normally I see several other parties there. Just a heads up to folks. Quote
