Yes, mountain goats do fall but occasionally, either when get engaged in fighting or see a predator following. ... Besides mountain goats, Bears, Ibex, and bighorn sheep know the art of climbing naturally.

Do Ibex goats fall?

“They do occasionally lose their balance and fall to their death, but this is a very rare occurance. Mortality rate due to fallling is evidently smaller than the increased risk of predation they encounter on a flat terrain.”

How do IBEX climb so well?

Ibex are very nimble. They can jump more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) straight up without a running start. This helps them climb mountainous terrain with ease. Ibex hooves have sharp edges and concave undersides that act like suction cups to help them grip the sides of steep, rocky cliffs.
