Haven't yet made it to Moab, but this recently happened just a bit away.

Aww! that's horrible. I imagine that the summit of Ancient art will be next. Go climb it before it's gone.

That mudstone that the Fisher Towers are composed of is very soft. Truthfully I have been nervous watching climbers on the towers as it seems like they could fall at any time.

I agree...Probably not the safest to climb a rock that can be blown over in a strong wind.

Sad to see something like that disappear though
