WARNING!- Constrychnine

[RAM]

"ROCKFALL DANGER!

On the 2nd rap, the longest one in the canyon, a large flake of rock has
fractured off on the fall line of the rappel. The spot is located just above
where the wide wall, top of the rap, rolls over to the slotty 2nd half of the
rap. While substantial rock has calved off, more is poised to fall. Until all
the flakes of rock at this location fall off, the spot will be dangerous to
those below. Please note the new, rock fall scarring, at the bottom of the rap.
All descenders should move down canyon a bit before the next rapper starts.

Here, let me help you out. I use "cut and paste". Faster than posting a link even.

Not to dismiss this specific warning, but all descenders should ALWAYS move out of the potential rockfall zone before calling off rope on any drop. Never hang out underneath someone that is rappelling. Even a dropped carabiner could cause you a very bad day.
