YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — Longtime climbers of Yosemite National Park's iconic El Capitan said Thursday they've never seen a rock slide like the one "the size of an apartment building" that plunged down the vertical face of the stunning rock formation, killing one person and injuring another at the height of the annual climbing season.
"I've seen smaller avalanches and smaller falls before where you would just see a tiny dust cloud, this was covering a good portion of the rock in front of us," said John DeGrazio of YExplore Yosemite Adventures, who has led climbers scaling El Capitan for 12 years.
