Careful Out There

... took a ride out the shooting range last night and discovered this...

... recent large rockfall...

... view from the drop zone...

... splintered this large tree and made a mess of the pistol range...

... included the KJ for scale - that's a big sandstone rock - don't think there's anyone under it - no one reported missing so far... broken in three pieces - the upper arrow indicates it's prior resting place... must have been a pretty spectacular sight to see...

... about three years ago - the lower arrow points to Tim Anderson putting up a new ice route at the time... the upper arrow points to the rock... Wow!... the route forms right at the water seep from the base of the rock strata - note the wet vertical fracture at the tip of the arrow and to the right of the small overhanging sickle located just above Tim's noggin - and the eventual fracture zone if you look again at the previous image... a retrospective Yikes!!...

... we'll let the circumstances speak for themselves...
