As you will know by now I have a great fascination for goats, especially mountain goats (if not see these articles: Goats climbing dam and The crazy Mountain goat), perhaps especially since I am a fond rock-climber myself.

So one day when I was browsing one of my favorite rock climbing websites I was delighted to find a photo including both a rock climber and a rock climbing goat on the same picture!

The Ibex was found to climb some F5/f5+ graded climbs in the Haute Savoie, France and on this particular picture it was crossing the multi-pitch route “La Bleue“.
