Hey,

Just a warning that we were climbing on Hidden Chimney today when a rock fall occurred. This is just to say that at the top of the last pitch there is still 4-5 quite big LOOSE rocks which will probably fall if someone stands on them.

Thanks

We were climbing on the Mess of Pottage on Sunday and I'm sure I heard several rumbles that sounded like substantial rockfalls from somewhere around the coire. Did anyone else hear them or was it just my febrile imagination?

heard many a large rockfall sound from on Aladdin's buttress, sounded like it was coming from fiacail ridge but I couldn't see the debree so guess it was just the sound reflecting back...

See if you just wait for some neve/ice to form it will probably be alright...

Yeah, sounded like it came from Fiacaill ridge to me too, but could have just been the echo.

Wondered if they were natural or human triggered? Anyone want to own up to demolishing mountains?

As the Cap'n says it's hardly surprising to find loose blocks if you go out in thin conditions.
