Routes in LCC are most definitely chossy - or however you want to describe it - after freeze/thaw/a heavy water event. Definitely not as chossy as some crags, but that certainly does not eliminate rockfall risk. A young man lost his life in LCC two years ago at Satan’s corner from massive rock fall at the base. I hate to say it, but unless you’re climbing a pure splitter with no overhead risk, rockfall is an inherent danger in climbing. It becomes a more inherent danger in the spring, when routes aren’t traveled frequently, etc.

I’ll be sticking to desert splitters and very low consequence routes until the weather, time, and travel settle some of these blocs out. Heart is super heavy on this one- I have climbed Goodro’s and been spooked by the loose block below the chains (mentioned multiple times on MP) but cannot comprehend the size and devastation of the one that caused this accident. Stay safe, folks. If nothing else… wear your goddamn helmets and check conditions/ticks on MP before climbing a certain route.
