Bug Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Too much to read. But great pics. So you cornered a goat? I was on that route once and I swear the goat ahead of me was dropping rocks on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_Mineev Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Goat. We met her after topping Long John Tower pitch. We chose right-hand variation to save some time and not deal with ropes, but ended up unpacking the rope for just one move that seemed to be too exposed. So, we just topped the pitch when she came from somewhere above, made this look and casually proceeded down the route we just climbed. Oleg and I instinctively squized our heads into shoulders expecting to hear sound of falling goat body. But she was Ok!. Respect! Why she? a minute later her little kid wizzed by us and jumped into the same abyss not even looking around. How do they do it?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 My wife and I climbed the WR about 4 years ago. We climbed the entire route in our approach shoes. We did not break the rope out until the last 400 feet. Great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 That's why I took my girlfriend down loose scree on slab a couple weeks ago. It's the "Scree Test". If she passes, you move on to the "Bushwhacking Test". And so forth. Very few old girlfriends return my calls. But great pics. Goats spend 90% of their life within a 1 mile square area. So they know every hold on every route they do. I once tried to follow a nanny and kid in the Sawtooths and ended up asking for a rope. 5.9 slab above a 600 foot drop. They scampered across it like it was a playground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
