I guess I'm lucky that I was able to climb it. I'll have to modify the SP page a bit!

Anyway, the quote a put on the original SP page was:

More than one climber has used the phrases that “it shouldn’t be there” or that “it may not last much longer”, but the rock seems OK for sandstone.

I bet you're glad you weren't on it when it fell (nor your children)!

The SP page should have specified the weight limit.

I was able to hike past it (I'm no climber) and photograph it this past spring. I guess I'll have to add those photos to the ones I took of Wall Arch. Thanks for letting us know about this.

More undeniable proof of climate change.

We could always blame it on the kids.

Gravity's just a theory!

Geological time is right now.

Geological time is right now.

Sometimes it definitely is. When I look at Hatteras Island on Google Earth, it's definitely different than when I was in high school.
