Slide 6 of 35
Notes:
On November 16, 1998 rockfall activity from the cliffs of Glacier Point shifted from the Happy Isles area to the Curry Village area. Since then, more than fifteen rockfall events have been documented from the Glacier Point Cliffs above Curry Village.
This picture was taken from across the valley by climber Lloyd DeForest on June 13, 1999.
Killed in this rockfall event was climber Peter Terbush. Two fellow climbers were injured.
