Young Peregrines out and about today. This late nesting family may delay the opening of the 3rd Flatiron a week or two. No biggie, I'm glad to see them take advantage of the wildlife closure.

Funny story;

Yesterday, in the middle of rock climbing the huge 1st Flatiron, about 2/3rds of the way up 'Baker's Way' I found a hiking boot that had obviously been dropped from higher up on the rock. I couldn't see anyone above me. I picked it up and clipped it onto a waist loop that I wear to hold my hiking shoes, and keep water bottles clipped. I was thinking that if I ran into the person that dropped it they would be really appreciative to not have to hike back to their vehicle in climbing shoes.

Then I started thinking about how unlikely it was that I would actually find the owner, as the boot could have been there for hours or even days if others had chosen to just leave it be. I reasoned that it was highly unlikely that the owner would get back onto the rock looking for it as the rock is huge and unless they had seen where it had stopped the likelihood of finding it would be miniscule, so at this point I was cleaning up litter. I started musing about possible 'lost and founds' or posting it on line..but where?

About 15 minutes later I came upon a commercially guided party of three at the false summit of the 1st. As I was approaching them I asked "Did anyone lose a boot?" An astonished client responded "YES" and was even more astonished that I actually had it. The funniest part was the other client who was staring at me with his jaw dropped as if I was an aberration.

The guide had said that they had been kidding the guy about not being able to change shoes for the decent hike.

Think about it. You're a client on a roped professionally guided climb and drop one of your boots high up on a huge cliff, give it up for hopelessly lost, and then some time later an 'un roped old guy' that you had never seen before appears from below WITH your boot.

Below shows locations of where I found the boot, and where I came upon the owner.

That is an amusing and unlikely story.
