Rock: Gabriel Buttress LHS Rock Fall

A large boulder has fallen recently (removed by council, Nov 2020) from the top LHS of Gabriel Buttress proper. The usual finishes to both Cashel and Lost in Space will have changed significantly and loose rock and dirt is possible. Please take extra care while climbing these routes, or any on the lower tier below (Gabriel, Third Uncle, Don’t Look at the Mantlepiece, Spike Route).
