There's a cave along the creek that's been dubbed as the "Aoudad Cave" because of some Aoudad sheep that the neighbors had seen living up inside it. It's quite high up an incline up from the natural spring creek. I've wanted to get to this cave ever since I first saw it, but knew it would be quite a dangerous attempt so I've been taking pictures around the cave area and figuring out what might be the best way to get there. I tried going up from the bottom once, but it was just too precarious and I gave up on that attempt about 1/3 of the way up. I had recently pieced together some images of the Aoudad cave from a previous trip in order to investigate potential methods for climbing up to it. From this image, it looks like a good ledge may exist near Eddie's water line (the far right of the image) to the cave (the far left). Pak stops by for a visit and tells me the goats use that ledge all the time to get to the cave and that it is a good ledge to use. After a bit of discussion, Pak takes me up topside on his four wheeler to check it out.
