"The leader had moved through the "double cracks" when a LARGE block fell. (I think the piece in the middle, between the cracks, decided it was time to go). After free falling for about 30' it landed in the gulley about 20' above us and exploded into 3 or so microwave size blocks, a bunch of shrapnel and blasted through us and the belay... I tried to jump and dodge (Matrix style) the barrage of granite. ... I was less than successful, got blasted full force in the legs below the knees and ended up below the anchor, in the corner, on my back with a block on my chest/stomach" Whoa! I think their anchor equalisation decisions were the least of their problems.
