There is a report out that BC Parks has closed access to the Lower and South Apron due to a rock fall danger.  There is a large loose rock near the top of the third pitch of Over The Rainbow (where Sickle crosses it).  See the squamishclimbing.com forum page: http://squamishclimbing.com/squamish_climbing_bb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4535 for more information.

Thank you Kitty for forwarding the link to me.

Yep, can confirm. Yesterday (July 4th), parks ranger told us that everything south of Deidre is off-limits until further notice.

Given rocks from above I thought you might like this helmet test.

Lower and South Apron has been reopened... Eva and I climbed Rambles and Deidre today :-)
