1 encounter here. Last year, early June in the Winds. My friend and I were fishing and as a passed a small snow field right next to the lake, I noticed tracks of some sort and looked up and the cat was running up the mountain. I yelled for my friend and we both watched as he stopped and watched us from a ledge a couple hundred feet above us.

It freaked us both out and is one of the reasons I don't know if I could solo hike in Winds. I was looking back way too much the rest of the trip. Maybe the wolf encounter on the same trip had something to do with it also. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
