A closer look up at the Dagger.   It looks horrible from here but it's jammed against the wall at the bottom, so it may be safe.

The dagger:   Seems to be a non-Newtonian boulder or possible a vagrant (no visible means of support).   Can anybody can see what is holding it up?

Looking straight up at the roof of Boulder Alley.   This makes the Dagger look quite stable in comparison.

(On second thoughts it doesn't).

Stal and straws in Boulder Alley.   You may not think that these are impressive but compared with the rest of the dig,  they are magnificent.
