ROCKFALL!

A big chunk of rock fell yesterday afternoon, Oct 2, 2022. It was either this route or the one to the right of it.

I was climbing smeg head variation a few routes to the left when another climber started top rope soloing and a huge piece of the face fell off. No one was hurt, but there's probably still some loose rock for anyone else wanting to climb this route. If there were a belayer it would be much worse.

ethic

Use your own gear for anchors. Keep the area clean. Don't annoy the Mont Rigaud commercial operations, so that climbing will continue to be tolerated.
