rock fall? on trail from penny lane gully to spiderfly..

A massive flake seems to have dislodged and slid onto the trail. Wondering if anyone else has seen it and if it was natural or dislodged by a humon with the intent of adding character to the trail.

Is it the one right near the bottom of the concrete steps, just west of Spiderfly? If so, it happened "naturally" a year or two ago, shortly after the new trail was put in by the mini-x.

No wait, is it at the base of a short bolted, somewhat mossy arete (route unknown), just before the log stairs? It looked to have been scrubbed off that route, or fell off late this winter.
