A callout to a popular climbing spot in Boulder, Colorado took an unexpected turn last week when rescue crews arrived to find that in addition to two climbers, their subject included one cat – in a backpack. Rocky Mountain Rescue Group received the call Saturday night for the rock climbers who had become stranded atop the Flatirons, but it wasn't until they reached the party that they realized they were also charged with extracting their feline friend to safety.
Boulder's Daily Camera reports that climber Austin Wolff had recently seen someone else climbing with their cat and thought it "would be cool" to take his feline companion, named Link, with him on a Colorado adventure before moving back to his home state of Texas.
