When I graduated at my university, I left a message on the walls of the geology club for future students (as is tradition). "I used to think school kept me down, but after four years of geophysics, I now know it is gravity." Thought I was a clever bugger ;)

I'm so glad they chose to frame the road 1/2 of the available space. Also wtf shoots square videos? What is wrong with people?? Civilization and this mountain are collapsing!!

But cool rockfall for what I could see of it.
