Not quite. What I've heard is that the underside of the crevase feature below the Medium Cool slab has fallen away, landing as said large boulder on the track below. Apart from this, the original poster seems to be reporting evidence of trundling of other boulders around the crag. Hope to go for a look to see for myself at the weekend.

Does that mean that Medium Cool and Silent Spring are now unclimbable by the normal starts?
