In 2011 cracks were noticed in the rock which is made up of mudstones and sandstones of the Porthtowan Formation and slates/siltstones of the Mylor Slate Formation from the Devonian. The route of the path was diverted as the cracks enlarged. On 23 September approximately 100,000 tonnes (110,000 tons) of rock fell into the sea. Unusually the rockfall was captured on video.
