First dog to attempt Everest
|
I just got an email from my friend Joe Thompson (from Eagle Colorado), who is at Camp II on the Nepali side of Everest. He is with an American expedition and has his dog Denali with them. |
|
Joe seems like a friend of yours so sorry for raining on your parade, but this seems really irresponsible and attention-seeking from the dog's owner. Denali is not attempting the Everest climb; Joe Thompson is attempting to bring his pet up Everest. |

Before you know it, REI is gonna be guiding dogs up everest. I just hope they remember to bag the poop, there's already way too much shit strung out all over Everest as is. |

summit sammies! cute dogs |
|
Shit, I have to carry pepper spray on Everest now too? |
|
I mean its cute and all, but will the dog be able to handle the altitude? Do they have a proper fitting oxygen mask? Yea sammies can handle the cold but can they handle that thin air? Flame me all you want but I don't see why you would risk the dog's life all for a stunt... |
