There was a pretty good sized chunk that came down early afternoon on Saturday. I was on Minty, and it came from my (climber's) left from a big corner. Perhaps Asphodel? I can't remember how far over it was now...

I think it came down from around the GT Ledge level, and sounded like it might have been dislodged by a climber based on where the first yell of "rock!" seemed to come from.

We were on Land's End, and it did sound like the Asphodel area. I heard someone yell "is everyone allright?" and no further ruckus, so i think it's okay.

I'm not sure about rockfall, but there was a fresh downed tree just right of Asphodel today.

I thought it came down from the big roof between Asphodel and Snookys. Apparently, no one was hurt.

I met a climber on the Arrow wall Sat. afternoon. He told me that he was on Beatle Brow Bulge and he pulled off a "microwave oven" size block. He took a 20-ft fall and the block missed his belayer. He was ok.

Interestingly I was heading out to CCK last friday on the carriage road and there seemed to be a big rock fall. We heard the rocks falling, couldn't tell where they were (other than above us, in the woods).
