sorry for the delay guys. life gets in the way sometimes. death of a grandmother, losing my job because of employer going broke and having a house built= little time for anything.

we made a comfortable camp. handy water sources close by.

1st day of hunting i when high above camp for a look over into the next valley. i was getting towards a saddle and just as i was about to crest it a bull and some nanny busted at from behind a big boulder infront of me. full stride in the snow. a magnificent sight! only 10 yards away!! tahr tracks everywhere.
 

bull tahr tracks. they are not happy unless at least one toe is hanging over a 1000ft drop. tahr- "i think i'll walk along the very edge of this ridge and look down a 1000ft drop just because i can" you just have to admire their surefootedness. they never cease to amaze.
  CM

unhuntable country full of tahr. haven't worked out how to abseil into range yet.
  CM

the quick way down the other side!

Spectacular as your adventures always are!  I don't think I've ever seen more beautiful pictures.  You are fortunate (and sturdy) men to be able to experience that country.

mark- we had to spend a couple of minutes clearing out a few pebbles from where the tent was going to go and the running water source was about 10 yards away. just more hardships to have to endure........  :biglaugh:
