Site Cl. No vegetative cover on this site makes it unsuitable for use
for lambing. It faces north and the orderly outcrops are rounded and
situated on a gentle slope.
Site C2. The cliffs face north but are situated on a southwest-facing,
steep slope. The outcrops themselves probably hold more snow than the
slope in general. Vegetation is lacking.
Site C3. This site faces east, but the lack of vegetation and easy
access by predators are even more unsuitable for lambing purposes.
The cliffs are very low and smooth.
Site C4. This site faces west and has plentiful vegetation. The
rounded outcrops are at low altitude and present poor escape terrain.
Site C5. This site is located on a ridge top and the cliffs are very
rounded. Vegetation is not plentiful but it is nearby.
Site C6. These low outcrops face southwest and are well-separated with
vegetation. They are fairly rugged but predators could approach from
the top. The slopes below are very steep.
Site C7. This site was only shown on the black and white photos. The
slope faces south but the outcrops are not rugged and are situated in a
talus slope. There is no vegetation.
Site C8. This site is at the ridge top and the cliffs are very low in
height and smooth. It faces northwest and has virtually no vegetation.
