    Great story and pics, youngster definitely handled the adversity like a man, now you both have every reason to go back again!
    Thank you for posting, my daughter was elated to see this young man just a little older than her getting it done in the "BIG" mountains, she is now on google maps scouting Goat territory near our place in the Boundary!

    What an awesome adventure! Too bad about the CO. That's what you seem to get for doing the right thing.

    Quite often a lot of things going on we all screw up once in awhile. We're all on your side even though the letter of the law isn't

    Man what an ending, I think my heart broke a bit as well reading that. Tremendous writing, awesome photos and a beautiful billy...definitely quite the oversight but it probably happens plenty of times every year and most guys just cross their fingers, drive home and punch a tag as soon as they can. You took full ownership, didn't make any excuses and without a doubt taught your boy the true meaning of ethics, that's big. Damn shame to lose the cape, I hope something is able to be worked out and that you guys were able to at least eat a few meals off him! Did you ever end up taking a peek inside the cave or was it just not possible to get up there?
