2010 Church Bowl rock fall

Broken rock slab and fresh rock debris.

A small rock fall from the cliff at Church Bowl. The rock fall consisted of a rock slab which toppled from its position on the cliff and fell to the talus, breaking into two pieces and striking an oak tree. It appears that the partially detached slab shifted slightly on the saturated soil that it rested on, then toppled over.
