Petit Dru North Face Attempt : Rockfall

Quick photo of minutes after the rockfall - after we ran away! 
(the cloud is not rainy cloud, its granite dust!)

More news and pictures coming soon and a story from John. But to put a long story short another big section of the Bonatti Pillar fell off last night as we were bivvying in the lower morraine.

This along with storm and rain last night meant we attempted the start of the North Face Classic Route this morning but quickly ran out of psyche!
