I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

3 dogs climbed Aconcagua with us 15 years ago. They seemed to be living at Nido des Condores & I assume they went up frequently. Not quite 7k, but close.

Re: Dog climbs 7000 meter peak
This reminds me of Horton the Quandary dog. I remember him being so fit, he followed us to the summit after having already summited at least once earlier that same day and I wouldn't be surprised if he had summited again that same day after us.

Re: Dog climbs 7000 meter peak
I've watched many a dog do it, including my own. Can't even get him to drink water out of a bowl after we've been out because he isn't thirstydontbugme wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 8:34 amHave you ever eaten snow for water?
