There seem to have been multiple instances of people throwing rocks and objects (fire extinguisher, etc.) from the top of the cliff while climbers were below.

Although nobody has yet been hit (at least to my knowledge), these objects would clearly be large enough to kill a person if they did hit them.

I do not believe that it is intentional -- last time someone was throwing rocks down onto us he/they stopped shortly after hearing us yelling at the top of our lungs.

Climb safe,
-Stein

This past weekend (Feb. 18th) while walking between climbing areas a group of people began throwing rocks at us and then proceeds to push a huge boulder over the edge of the cliff which sent shrapnel flying for about 100 yard. Needless to say we left, after these kids/a-wholes, started getting with in a few feet of hitting us. Kind of frustrating, kind of ruins a good crag, I know it is an urban crag, but I cannot believe the idiocy that can be exhibited by people at times.
