High Altitude Encounter With a Mother Goat

Murphy Roberts described the scene captured here as “one of the scariest and coolest moments of my life”. Roberts was scaling the relatively dangerous Sawtooth Ridge between Mt. Bierstadt en route to Mt. Evans in Colorado. On the trek, he and his companions encountered a mother mountain goat and its kid. The mother is seen approaching Roberts and stomping its foot before, luckily, running off. Courtesy: awesomesaucejesus.
