I don't think anyone's posted this on UKC yet. The main action comes about half-way through.

When I saw the thread I thought something else had gone in the quarries!

Looks like the end of Overhanging Bastion then. Glad I got it ticked back in the haze.

Presumably an 'exfoliation dome' in the process of exfoliating big time!

In reply to digby:

I guess hundreds of years pass between 'exfoliation events' on that scale. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any mention of fatalities or even injuries with this Brazilian one.
In reply to Gordon Stainforth:

That'll need re-bolting then.

Shame it is only a postage stamp sized video.
It would have been interesting to see it full screen.
