Help me help poor dirtbag climbers who own dogs in Colorado. |
|
A thinly-veiled "Dogs at Crags" thread. Yeah, we haven't had this subject for about six months. Carry on. |
|
Can I girth hitch a sling to my dog or is it better practice to clip in? And if so is a non-locker sufficient? |

I appreciate your efforts and your attitudes on the subject. I wouldn't personally make the effort, I also don't row upriver. Just lazy I guess. |
|
Isn't this where someone usually posts the "Cool Story Bro" meme? ... Also not sure why the need for 'tat' , isn't a leash just something that restricts a dog's movement? Tubular webbing is $.30 a foot ... don't most of us climbers have webbing lying around ? |

I really enjoy dogs and I don't necessarily mind seeing them at the crags if they are well-behaved. But when did it become acceptable to let your dog run around and walk on other peoples ropes? and why do Coloradans seem to accept this behavior? That is what I don't get. I yelled at a guy for letting his dog run on my ropes and everyone at the crag looked at me like I was the bad guy... Personally I think people just accept it too much. If everyone raised a stink perhaps these irresponsible dog owners would get the message. |

I'm going to bring ALL my dogs :) |

Hmmm... maybe the solution, since you don't seem to mind dogs per se, is to come up with a way of training the dogs not to step on the rope. Teach that to the climbers with the dogs, and the problem is solved. |
|
The real problem is humans keep having babies, over seven billion of them and hardly anyone is dying. Blaming the dogs for this issue is very rich, so carry on. |
|
Leave your dogs at home, and avoid any conflicts about whether you are a responsible dog owner. I have almost been bitten by dogs, they are left unattended by bad owners and left tied up while teams go up four pitches or so and leave Fido tied to a rock in the sun... |

This is because of a border collie mix. If you had good luck with the breed, don't credit the breed. Shitty people have shitty dogs. The inverse is also true. |

I just dropped my dogs off at the crag, and then headed to the office. It's like a free doggy daycare. |

Dirtbag climbers can get a job and buy the three dollar lease.... Climbers do no need to be dirtbags and we should evolve from this characteristic. We all need money and no one likes a stinky partner.+1. A dog walking on a rope is no different than a person walking on a rope. Also, I wish the term Dirtbag never really needed to apply to the climbing community. |

Just bring ur gun, it's Colorado.... |
|
If puppies could selectively choose their owners based on said owner's ability to care for them, there wouldn't be any of these problems |

And if any complained to the sheriff all he'd say would be "Why did you let him run around without a leash?" |

Ever notice how a dog thread brings out internet tough guys? |
