This is how you climb the hourglass as a dog in proper gear. Dont forget your gun and ropes.

Better the dog in a sling than your ass in one. Glad to hear you were not hurt and sorry your day was spoiled by an unintelligent and insensitive clod (who probably thinks they are a smart climber and dog lover). When are we gonna read about the first 14er dog fatality?!? geez!ThuChad wrote:Did they have one of these?

More importantly, when are we going to read about the first 14er fatality CAUSED by a dog because an irresponsible owner took their dog on a route they had no business being on.summitstep wrote:When are we gonna read about the first 14er dog fatality?!? geez!

Spot on. Either one tragic.

Re: Dogs in the Hourglass??
After reading some of these dog stories the past few months, I am starting to wonder if owning a dog makes you dumber. Do they carry highly communicable diseases that impair human judgment?

Should we name it lucky?
