Excerpt:

Rockfall hazard in the study area is determined to be extremely high. Rockfall events can generally be divided into two categories; 1) those involving massive toppling slab failures of the cliff faces, and 2) those involving smaller individual boulders falling off the edges of the vertical cliffs due to downslope creep.
