[MCR] Rock Fall Ha-Ling Peak

On Monday afternoon there was a very large rockfall on Ha-Ling peak
which seemed to sweep the lower pitches of the NE ridge route. I heard
the rumble from down by the quarry and then watched the big powder
cloud obliterate the approach slabs and the pillar on the climbers
right. I couldn't tell where the starting point was. This is several
years in a row now where big rockfall incidents have occurred early
season and have affected normal climbing routes.
Heads up and maybe stay clear of the big faces early in the season
after significant weather changes???
