Repeat Jr has a dead cow.

[Iceaxe]

Alan Knepper sent me this picture of the dead cow in Repeat Jr. I hear it is super smelly. I would suggest everyone avoid this canyon for a couple of months. If you rappel into the head of the canyon you will be forced to climb over the dead cow.

Foul. Thanks for the heads up.

Best thread title ever!

It does get right to the meat of the matter.:haha:

I heard cows can't go down stairs or walk backwards. Makes sense. Sucks to not have reverse gear.

Oh, they can definitely do both. Trust me, I know. I grew up on a ranch. They're just stupid.

Just dump lime on it and a few trash bags of lawn leaves... Nice band aid for those who wanna run the route. just need to find a way to speed up the decomposition.

Yup, thus they deserve to be eaten.

What confuses me is how it got into exactly that position. It looks like it walked in instead of falling. At least it didn't fall into some stagnant water. Dead things in a pothole are one of the few things I don't enjoy about canyoneering.

...mad cow disease...

I know the back story.... the cow walked into the slot. Near the end of the slot there are some sandstone steps. The cow climbed up the steps and reached a point where it couldn't turn around..... So.... cows might have a reverse and might be able to do stairs, but they can't do stairs in reverse...

Someone ( I think it was AJ) first found the cow when it was alive and tried to get it out. When that didn't work they found the rancher that the cow belonged to and he tried but couldn't get the cow out so it eventually died.

[Brian in SLC]

Almost a shame when it was still alive they, uhh, didn't "process" it on the spot...

Canyon barbecue. MMM

Agreed.

Good grief...

By that logic, there are a few people I know that should have been lunch several times over.

I'm gonna eat a steak...

Ok, I didn't point this out before, well because this is obviously a tragic situation, but I couldn't help notice that this cow was not wearing a helmet, a rain jacket, or appropriate foot gear. Ironically, it could have been outstanding in it's field. Instead it's worm bait.:facepalm1:

Just saying.

We did Angel Cove canyon, and went down the south fork and then attempted to hiked out via the north fork. About 3/4 of the way up we were VERY surprised to find a buck that couldn't get out. A bit nerve wracking to run into a cornered animal! We ended up going all the way back down and took the rim as the exit, then descended carefully back the north fork to take the pic. I think it was trying to follow the water from the top of the fork, and slid down the steep ramp at the top and couldn't make it's way back. I called fish and game, and left the gps coordinates with them. It would have been a lot of work to get it out of there. Not sure what ended up happening...

Now that....is a deadcow anchor. :mrgreen:

I can't say how pleased I am that this thread has managed to make it to two pages. :lol8:

I just wish that I had read this post before trying to do Repeat Jr. last Saturday. We had a newbie with us and there was no way I was going to give up on a simple canyon descent just because of a little smell. What kind of example would that have set? :eek2:

[yetigonecrazy]

Actually, it's the same dead cow to be precise. Popped in today, Sep 22nd, to have a look see. And guess what, it's still there. Right there at the bottom of the rap. Looks and smells hideous. Looks like someone or something has been eating the back end of it so all those yummy inside juices have pooled up at the backside. We walked in from the bottom and needless to say were more than thrilled we didnt just rap on in. Quick TR coming soon

That's friggin' funny! :lol8:

When I saw that second picture I actually held my breath so I wouldn't have to smell it.:puke8:

[alpinejumper]

just rapped into Repeat Jr on Nov 5, 2012 and discovered the remains of the dead cow. Interestingly, it didn't smell and sounded hollow while gently trying to walk between it and the wall. Desiccation?

Sounds like its time to chop it up and make some authentic leather goods.

:facepalm1:Just hold yer breath and step/climb over the top you pussies. Breathe through your mouth. Geez, canyoneers will go to the end of the earth to find the most gnarly slot canyon in existence, and then when confronted with a dead cow lose their nerve and wuss out.

As Mr. Rogan would say: "Apparently fear was a factor for you!"
