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.

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.

Aha

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.

Just saying.
