NEW RULE: Any subset of dipshits detailed above, who go the step further in their exercise of mental midgetry and posts a picture with a caption in Impact font with "haterz gonna hate" gets not only a swift kick in the ballz, but also subjected to pointing and laughing by the 99.95% of people who can articulate a thought beyond posting some stupid fucking pictures and can comprehend nuance. Love dogs, they have no place at the crags. Carry on.Im sorry I just couldn't help myself |

I could have rapped into the canyon in 5 minutes but nooooo. 45 minutes to walk down, across, up, and around. But god damn it I love him. And to think the poor bastard could have been adopted by some asshole that tied him to a chain in the back yard... After I got a dog i realized my life now revolved around him. I've missed out on a couple of big days for sure. Just had to change around my routine a little. Welp looks like were cragging today, Bridal Veil will have to wait till next week. |

Secondly, it's kind of cruel to let your dog sitting at the base of a route while you climb for 10 hours. Most people with dogs realize this and focus more on single-pitch cragging. If you get a dog, it should be because having a dog is more important than climbing. If climbing is still your first priority, forget it.I don't necessarily climb less as a result of having a dog, like you said I just climb with different objectives - usually just cragging and 1-2 pitch stuff in areas that are both safe for a dog and that aren't high traffic. I leave her at home or get a dogsitter if I want a long weekend somewhere with bigger objectives. Point being is that neither one has higher priority and you can accommodate both in your life. |
