Rockfall resulting in chopped anchor report	24-Feb-2015 At 2:20:14 PM	kieranl

Now I don't like the sliding-X but it appears that people are missing the main lesson from this event. The lesson is that if you're caught in a big rockfall it is purely a matter of luck whether you will survive or not, so be really careful with that stuff. Yes rig your belay properly and clip your rope into redundant anchors but big rocks will chop anything if they hit. If any of the non-redundant bits like the powerpoint knot, or the rope to each climber had been chopped then it would be goodbye.
