Was on Forbidden Corner Thurs 18th. Be aware that on the pitch 6 (the
one you climb the loose flake to gain the webbing for protecting the
traverse to the belay) has serious loose rock waiting to come off. The
lead climber just placed his hand on it and the size of a fridge door
just pealed off. Missing me and somehow not even scratching the rope.
This rock is climbed all the time to gain that webbing and just from
looking at what's still attached. There is still more waiting to come
off. It is very easy to recognize what peeled off.
I've never posted a posting and I thought this could be important info
to pass on regarding Forbidden Corner, especially since the Assistant
Rock Training is coming up. It's apparent that winter freezing and
melting had contributed to what is stated below. This is one time that I
did not have my camera so I have no photo to show and tell.
