Ke kiaʻi nei ka poʻe kālaihonua i nā pali ma hope o ka Hōkele hanohano ʻo Ahwahnee ʻo Yosemite National Park ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o nā pōhaku mai ke kahua ʻo Royal Arches i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai nā malihini a pau he 300 i ka Pōʻakolu.
Ua hāʻule kekahi mau pōhaku e hāʻule ana, ʻo kekahi e like me ka umu microwave, he 100 kapuaʻi ka liʻiliʻi mai ke kumu o ka pali a i loko o ke kahua kaʻa valet, kahi i pōʻino ai kekahi mau kaʻa, wahi a Scott Gediman e haʻi aku ai. ʻAʻohe mea ʻeha i hōʻike ʻia.
"Ua ʻoluʻolu loa i kēia manawa," wahi a Gediman. "Ua noi mākou i nā poʻe e haʻalele ma ke ʻano he makaʻala i ka wā e noiʻi ai nā geologists."
ʻO ka lepo mai ka avalanche, ka mea i hoʻomaka i ke awakea, i uhi ʻia i nā ʻike o Half Dome.
Ua kuhikuhi ʻia nā malihini o ka hōkele 125-lumi kahiko i ka pā hema ma hope o ka hōkele ʻoiai e nānā ana ka poʻe kālaihonua i ke kūpaʻa a nānā i ka nui o nā pōhaku e hāʻule. Ua manaʻo ʻo Gediman e ʻae ʻia lākou e hoʻi i ko lākou mau lumi ma ke ahiahi.
He pōʻino paha ka Rockfall i ka paka i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka wā e hoʻihoʻi ana i nā glaciers i ʻoki i nā ʻano hoʻohiwahiwa mai ka pōhaku paʻa. ʻO nā hale kiaʻi ʻo Royal Arches he 1,600 kapuaʻi ma hope o ka Ahwahnee, kahi hōkele ʻoihana nui a me nā mea hana me nā hiʻohiʻona nui o Half Dome, Yosemite Falls a me Glacier Point.
I ka mahina o ʻOkakopa, ua pani paʻa nā luna paka i ka hapakolu o Curry Village ma lalo o Glacier Point ma hope o ka like ʻana me 570 mau kaʻa pōhaku i paʻi i 17 mau hale kaʻa a koi aku i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o nā ʻōpio ʻoi aku ma mua o 150 ma kahi huakaʻi. ʻAʻohe mea i ʻeha nui.
ʻO ka Curry Village ka makahiki ʻo Curry Village ka hale hoʻokipa maikaʻi loa o ka ʻohana ma ka paka, ʻo ia hoʻi nā keʻena, nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina e mālama ʻia e kahi hui o waho.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia kahi moʻolelo Associated Press i ka makahiki i hala, ua ʻōlelo aku ka poʻe kālaihonua no ka liʻiliʻi he ʻumi makahiki i ka pōʻino o ka maka pōhaku o Glacier Point ma luna o ke kauhale. ʻOiai ʻelua mau make a me ka piʻi ʻana o ka pinepine a me ka paʻakikī o nā hāʻule pōhaku mai ka makahiki 1996, ua hōʻole nā luna o ka paka e hana.
Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Gediman i ka Pōʻakolu he pōʻino paha ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pōhaku a he mea e nānā ʻia e ka poʻe geologists paka.
"Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Yosemite i ka hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka rockfall a ke hoʻomau nei ka rockfall i kahi ʻāpana o ka hoʻomohala mau ʻana o ke awāwa ʻo Yosemite," wahi āna.
