From Andy Genereux:

"Was up on the West End of Yam the other day and there has been a major rock slide which caused damage to the starting pitches of Unnamed , Rejection Of the faith, and Missionary's Crack.

Looks like the rock fall originated in the area of the 4th or 5th pitch of Missionary's Crack. Bolts and anchors may be effected in this area. The debris field was 200m long by 40m across and up to 2-3m in thickness. Expect to find more unstable rock in this area use caution if climbing these routes it is unknown as to the extent of damage."

This is from roughly between pitches 4 & 5 on the left side of Missionary's Crack. The climber in the photo is on the climb Rejection Of The Faith which suffered damage to the first two pitches.
