A popular section of Yosemite National Park is closed because of a rockfall threat.
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. - A busy area for rock climbing in Yosemite National Park has been closed because of the threat of a rock slide.
The National Park Service says climbers reported a new crack in the cliff near Royal Arches, not far from the Ahwahnee Hotel.
After inspecting the cliff, the park closed much of the area, saying there's a threat a large pillar of rock could fall.
There's no word when it will be reopened.
