Account

The witness and a coworker started a night hike on a rugged trail and heard loud rock-on-rock clacks in groups that seemed to track and respond to them from multiple directions. Feeling funneled in steep terrain with no escape, they turned back due to storms and hiked out while the sounds paralleled them.
