New rock fall at Yosemite injures 1 a day after climber killed

A massive new rock fall hit Yosemite National Park on Thursday injuring one and sending huge plumes of white dust surging through the valley floor below.
Climber Ryan Sheridan had just reached the top of El Capitan when the rock slide let loose below.
The slide came a day after a giant slab of granite plunged from the same formation, killing a British climber.
The last time a climber was killed by a rock falling at Yosemite was in 2013.
