Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping

Thank you for the report. I wanted to check out White Chuck for a few years now. Do you think the trail is doable to a dog?

Met a guy on the trail who said he previously took his 9 year old son and their dog (a beagle I think it was). Personally I wouldn't do either. The exposure is unforgiving.

I second Neek on the dog... I wouldn't take my pooch up there. The risk is too high. Literally...

HEEEEYYY! You animal!
Written like a pro, I think. Cool report, and congrats!

I was the one with my 13 year old nephew that you met on the ridge. We were coming down. Years ago I took my 1 year old beagle up to the top. He did great. Had to carry him just before the top to get down into the notch. Don’t think I would do it again. The scramble section before the top is looser then it was last year. Nice talking to you guys.

Your nephew was great! Tell him thanks again for the beta. Nice running into you both.

Seeing the places you have taken your dog Cookie, she could ' probably ' do fine. But.....I certainly don't want to recommend an action that ends badly.
I wouldn't do it. Why risk it?

Thank you everyone for the reports and for the suggestions about the dog! Her safety is my highest priority and I will certainly not risk it. While it is hard to judge the danger without seeing it, but thankfully there are many more other fun hikes we can go together!
Cookie is very capable in scrambling, but mistakes can happen and safety takes precedence.

I remember when we first climbed it comparing the ridge to a tilted billiard table covered in ball bearings.

Pretty good description...

Nikita - thanks for asking the question because I was thinking of the very same one about the dogs. Bummer.
Hope Cookie is doing well.
