A new crack has appeared in Yosemite, and it's huge

[Still Waters]

Climbers scaling Yosemite came across a new crack near the Royal Arches cliff last week. According to park officials, a subsequent investigation concluded that cracking was actively occurring and so they have taken steps to close sections of the park as a safety precaution.

The new crack has partially detached a large pillar of rock near the climbing route known as Super Slide. To reduce the risk of rockfall, the National Park Service is sealing off trails while their investigations continue. The closures began on August 30 and will remain in place until further notice.

I do hope people obey the warnings and don't venture into the area anyway.
