Firefalls 2008: Follow up.

Our friend Tom Lambert has a post up on his blog, YosemiteExplorer.com about the Royal Arches fire; In a nutshell, a fire was spotted on Monday night at that spot. Speculation is that climbers coming off the Royal Arches route lit it to get warm, and didn’t extinguish it properly.
