Thread: Tahr in August...

Steep because they catch the heat of the sun better and North facing because they get the most sun.. if any snow falls at this time of the year although the nights are still cold, the sun is gaining strength and the new snow settles and melts quickly in these area.

I know of a place that might suit you down to the ground with a small hut and places that Tahr rest up not far away toward the end of winter. The terrain is of the more forgiving nature than the west and the walk in is not very far. Give me a pm if it interests you.

That's some awesome advice and offer @headcase - pm incoming!
We are fine with the cold - we still have our cold weather gear from our Alaskan winter trip last year...
