According to this thread on ST, the entire p11 ledge on the RNWFHD has fallen down. Really scary to think about with the number of people typically doing this route this time of year.

Here is a photo I took last summer with the flake highlighted. More than what's highlighted probably fell off but the supertopo photo doesn't have it all in frame.

This is all gone?

Glad we got on it while we could, although I was really hoping to do it again.

Has anyone looked at the seismography to see when this happened? I'm thinking it was 3 AM on the 2nd. I'm no expert on these things, but there's a VERY atypical shock recorded on nearby stations (what I would imagine 5 million lb of rock crashing down might look like shock-wise):
