The collapse of the Old Man of the Mountain happened quickly in 2003, like a landslide. However, the process was triggered through slow changes to the rock. The wind, ice, and snow from the New Hampshire winters gradually weathered the rock, weakening it and causing the formation to eventually collapse.
