Must have been the lip at the top edge, just going by I was told when I was up there.

No, that's not the Diving Board. People call it that, but this is the Diving Board.

HA. You had plenty of company, when I was there Monday there were a lot of packs lying around and hanging from trees. Even more fun, they were putting Garcia canisters in trees - huge mistake, the only way to get into them is to drop them on rock and break 'em.

Yeah, chasing the bear wasn't ideal... but you lucked out and got the pack back. I hiked with someone recently whose first backpacking trip in Yosemite ended abruptly when a bear snatched his pack - he chased but could not keep up and had to listen to the bear somewhere in the brush tearing apart his gear in search of lunch. And then he had to clean it up and hike back to the car.
