To BillMiddlebrook: No offense taken, he does several slot canyons with my friends and I. Practicing repelling at easy access points makes the ones in the canyons much smoother.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound boorish. I had a hard time thinking of when I would want to rappel with my doggie. I'm also pretty sure my dog would s**t herself.

Going to do Handies and Uncompahgre with my Vizsla in a couple of weeks. I bought him some booties, but only carry them as backup. He gets a lot of walking on pavement, plus we're going to do some warmup hikes first (Powderhorn and Waterdog Lakes) while we're out there.juj333 wrote:I was wondering if anyone has any experience on bringing their dog on Class 3 peaks or difficult Class 2s? My dog has currently hiked 17 peaks: Huron, Sherman, Gray's, Princeton, Belford, Oxford, La Plata, Elbert, Massive, Evans, Bierstadt, Shav & Tab, Red Cloud & Sunshine, Humboldt and Pike's. (Handies and Uncompahgre this coming weekend)
