Site S7. The outcrops are broken, but they are too low and smooth to
provide safety. They are located in an area where predators can approach
from above and below. The cliffs face southwest and have adequate
vegetation.
Site S8. This site is located on a gentle slope and has low, smooth
cliffs. Vegetation is limited and there is no winter range nearby.
Site S9. This site is a very small cliff ridge that faces south.
Its low height makes it easily accessible to predators. Again, the
altitude is low and there is no winter range nearby.
