Large flake came out of the bottom of Sterling Silver at Bus Stop quarry today, be very wary (or best avoid) the route for now.

Thankfully a bruised knee and a few cuts to wrist and ankle were all that was sustained by the climber.

Bloody hell, nightmare, I always thought the higher one would go first. Glad they're ok

Kind of glad it wasn't the higher one (I was belaying! Somehow have sprained my finger holding the fall though as its swollen & stiff).

Brown scar at top just right of middle is where it came out of (picture & warning left on the block that fell for those who don't read forums!).
