A large section of a classic route up Half Dome fell off and likely left the route unclimbable, .

A team of rock climbers on the Regular Northwest Face route discovered the missing piece of Half Dome, after pitch 11 of the 23-pitch climb, over the weekend. In the route鈥檚 current condition, reaching pitch 12聽would require a section of unprotected rock climbing.聽

鈥淥ften, when you see rockfalls coming from underneath a roof at the base of an exfoliation slab, more will follow,鈥 climber and geologist Roger Putnam told Climbing. 鈥 I hope nobody goes up there for quite a while.鈥
