EWolfe Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 First Yak-bouldering, and now this: Yak-skiing in Manali, India (A person on skis and holding a bucket of nuts is attached to a yak by a long rope fixed to a pulley on a hilltop, with the yak near the top and the skier far below. The skier rattles the bucket loudly to infuriate the yak, which then charges down, yanking the skier rapidly uphill.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 OK, so the concept of how this works is pretty simple... ...but what happens when the skier, halfway up the hill, meets the charging and infuriated yak (charging and infuriated being the operative words here), halfway down the hill? Is there a <trainwreck> graemlin out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The most interesting thing here is just how little it takes to infuriate a yak - I had no idea that they had such hair-trigger tempers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 They don't seem to mind loads (or wigs), however. Just leave your can of nuts at home for your expedition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
