i never even saw a rock "fall" ??? I'm confused

I would imagine that the rock falls that occur on clear days would be caused by the heating and cooling of the cliff faces. Anything from the rocks themselves, or the moisture that has seeped through. The temperature causing expanding and contracting would cause them to become fragile. Being thousands of lbs of weight, eventually it would just crack and fall.

You can really get an idea of how tall the valley walls are by how slow the falling rocks are falling. Great footage!
