to the top of the next line of precipices. The upper cliffs overhung the slope. 
Many traces remained, and hair, skin and the horns of females were lying on 
the ground. Very possibly the Ibex were starved to death, and bears or 
vultures got to work and broke up the dead goats. 
Another winter quarter was much trampled ; it was practically a large cave 
with a wide opening to the south. Hair was plentiful, but no sWn or bones, so 
probably all went well, but very short rations must have been the rule.
