Bighorn Sheep Designer Footwear for Mountainside Climbing

Bighorn sheep are natural agile rock climbers that can climb up and down steep rocky mountain sides with ease. Bighorns can jump over 2 meters or seven feet across mountain crevices and even turn in mid-air to grab a ledge of rock. Even young lambs have incredible climbing abilities across rocky terrain. Bighorn Sheep hooves have a hard outside rim used for digging or cutting into ground, snow or ice, but the inside of the hoof is soft, sticky and spongy. Bighorns designer footwear have incredible traction with split hooves that can pinch and hold rocks, along with claws higher up on the foot that help act like brakes if sheep start to slide on loose rock or slippery surfaces.
