I think this may have been a "staged" scene by previous climbers looking for a laugh. Judging from the decompostion of the carcass I would say that it is too decomposed to have been sitting there since I was last up on the slabs when there was no deer there.

Yeah, I can't imagine a deer going anywhere near those slabs, big horn sheep maybe... but a deer??
A deer got caught up in the fixed lines on the approach slabs. When we were Batmaning up, this carcass was supporting our weight. If the bones had snapped, we would have shockloaded the anchor...
