Caution! Diretissima, on Mt. Yamnuska. On the last pitch (8) below the crux chock stone by about 3 meters, there are 2 blocks stacked on top of one another, about volley ball sized, and perched precariously. I repositioned them but there is really nowhere to put them otherwise, (without sending them all the way down!, not advised)

It seemed in general the last pitch has more loose stone, than previous ascents that I have made.
