Preliminary estimates report that the multiple falls on Wednesday resulted in 16,000 cubic feet of rock to cascade down from approximately 650 feet above the base of El Capitan.

Rockfalls are not particularly unusual for Yosemite, and the park even has a rockfall chart that shows falls documented from 1857 to 2011.

"Rockfalls are a common occurrence in Yosemite Valley and the park records about 80 rockfalls per year; though many more rockfalls go unreported. The rockfall from El Capitan was similar in size and extent compared with other rockfalls throughout the park, though it is not typical that there were victims," the park service wrote on its website in reference to the rockfalls on Wednesday.
