Yes maybe in one of the tahr ballot blocks which are full on at the moment. There are no second chances in that country. Fortunately they had a PLB, these or maybe a sat phone are really an absolute must, the PLB being the quickest and most reliable.

I was due to go in with my two sons and a couple of their mates on a tahr ballot block on the 17th of this month but although I won a block in the ballot DOC mucked it up and didn't allocate it (new system this year). It was only when I inquired about my permit for the block that they realised their error, offered a couple of spare blocks and periods but were both too short notice, bugger!!

They have however given me first choice next year for a block and period so I was in like a rabid dog in booking that.
