Not when they're eating carrion, unless the carrion has died conveniently at the top of a cliff.

A good way to catch a condor is to dump a dead goat on flat ground, and surround it with fence posts a few metres away. On a still day, the condor drops in to feed, but then finds itself with an inadequate take-off run in all directions.
