[MCR] Loose block on Diretissima

Caution! Diretissima, on Mt. Yamnuska. On the last pitch (8) below the
crux chock stone by about 3 meters, there are 2 blocks stacked on top
of one another, about volley ball sized, and perched precariously. I
repositioned them but there is really nowhere to put them otherwise,
(without sending them all the way down!, not advised)

It seemed in general the last pitch has more loose stone, than previous
ascents that I have made.
