[MCR] Squamish Rock Fall Chief North Walls

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Today the last scheduled day of rock scaling (for now?) on the North Walls of the Chief in Squamish.  see link - http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/stawamus/
They removed many lose rocks over the last 3 days.  
It was an exciting view from the Shlanay today watching the fridge size rocks come down.  

There is still plenty of rock fall potential in the Northern Lights region and the start of Angel's Crest. 

My strong recommendation is to stay well away from the area.  Currently there are signs at the start of the trails as shown in the photos bellow. 

As quoted from signage:
"Trail to Angle's Crest CLOSED until further notice due to rockfall."

This photo shows the missing trails under the north walls of the Chief?..  This photo also shows the start of Angel's Crest got hit by rockfall and is still exposed to more potential rock fall. Both while hiking to the base or climbing the many starting pitches in the area.
