Overview

• Vertical Worx and KARES led a multi-day rescue mission on a nearly vertical, unstable 120-foot cliff in Hawi, Hawaii.
• Early climbing efforts established anchors but were halted when the goat eluded rescuers by moving quickly at close range.
• Teams shifted to using food to lure the goat downward while jet skiers and surfers guided her into the water for safe transit to shore.
• The goat was rescued on July 14 and underwent a veterinary exam that deemed her healthy and pregnant.
• Officials plan to relocate her to a vegetation-management provider for permanent placement.
