Without looking at the article, Rock fall. Yamuska is a helmet mandatory hike. Most don’t wear helmets.

After reading the article I don’t quite understand how you fall 6m on the scree slope without being off trail. Maybe they mean skid or roll but it’s what I would describe as a fall.

They should take down the cable accords the sketchy section.
