Not sure if this has been noted before, but the right start hold on the pearl had a major breakage . . . maybe cranking a sit start on a fractured hold ("Pearl Necklace") wasn't such a great idea (or someone got on after rain?). Pearl Necklace must be way easier now.

Yeah, as a sit start it was ripe for a break, esp. when wet! Doubtful it was intentional.

Wow, 9 climbers right after rain! You're right, it will just continue, and little can be done. Even if 95% of the visiting climbers are educated and aware and use common sense after rain, over time, the remaining 5% will break holds.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
