Jack had learned the ropes about herding the previous summer on Brokeback, but Ennis turned out to be a fast learner.

Aguirre outfitted the boys with most of what they would need on the mountain.  However, Ennis came down with only one outfit.

The sooty bulk of the mountain paled slowly until it was the same color as the smoke from Ennis's breakfast fire.

"R" is respected

It seems that Ennis and Jack respected the sleep-with-the-sheep rule most of the time.

Ennis and Jack respected the sleep-with-the-sheep rule except when they slept with each other.

Jack complained about having to make a nightly trip up to the pasture to sleep with the sheep.

"U" is unheard

Jack thought that Aguirre's sleep-with-the-sheep rule was unheard of and Ennis didn't hear the end of it until he changed places with him.

Ennis found it in himself to occasionally violate the sleep-with-the-sheep rule.
