A rockfall happened just before 2 in the valley today off of upper Yosemite Falls. It was lower down, approx 1/3 the way up the wall, on climber's left of the waterfall. Didn't appear to hit or impact the trail but threw up a nice dust cloud. Didn't hear any sirens so I assume no injuries, closures, etc. Will try to get a photo of the release pt and of the cloud this weekend.

Surviving something like that is how I've always wanted my luck to kick in, as opposed to a lotto ticket. OTOH if I do win the lotto, I've always felt the fallen tree would land on top of me instead of missing me by a few feet.

I can understand you feeling that way. You and your friend were so very lucky not to have been hurt.
