Being on a tightrope is living. Everything else is waiting. -- Karl Wallenda
I never did find out how this Mountain Goat, Oreamnos americanus, managed to get down. I was there for more than an hour and it kept licking away at the mineral in the rock. It was a sheer drop below, there was no apparent way up or sideways. But then other’s did some amazing feats of climbing that the best mountain climbers would be envious of.

In rock climbing jargon, that Mountain Goat is doing 5.10 moves! Great shot! By the way, you must have been pretty exposed yourself!
