A major rockfall event occurred at the Rundle Rock climbing site sometime between Monday evening and Wednesday morning (May 28-30). Massive new boulders are scattered around the belay area of the steeper, pocketed wall. There is a big fresh scar on the steep rock wall above and right of the Rundle ridge. It is unsure whether more debris is poised to come down. It would have been disastrous if people were hanging out in the area at the time of the rockfall. It might be a good idea to avoid this area for a while.
