The time is getting closer and I've been looking over what we did last year getting all excited about this years planned trip back to the land of the long white cloud. Once you hunt in mountains like these it's impossible to shake the hold they get on you.
Here's some photos to add to Clint's thread.
Man there was water everywhere! It was falling on us, splashing up at us, floating around us and pouring out of the rocks towards us. down in the scrub choked valleys the constant rain and fog really made taking photos very difficult at times.
Nice looking chamois country.
This waterfall looked like it sprang from straight out of the rock.
It was exciting to finally emerge above the tree line and see this.
This was the sight of my first tahr for the trip only a few hundred yards above us, late in the afternoon as we were heading for the bench just below where it's standing to set up our camp for the next few days.
We saw Tahr around us on the bluffs and cliffs every day from here on in, but getting to where they were was out of the question for this non Tahr footed human. Saw bulls on this face regularly.
Amazing animals! These tahr decided to play follow the leader down a sheer cliff face. Then proceeded to turn around and go back up again. Just unreal!
