Dog Escape ala Rock Climbing Style
This is an incredible escape! I truly am amazed at how this girl figured this out. She stems her body between a tree and the chain-linked fence and works her way up to a ledge… and pulls the ledge! I am talking some remarkable rock climbing moves here.
In the rock climbing world, the tree-fence tactic is typically used when climbing a dihedral or a chute. There was a climb in Clear Creek Canyon, Colorado, I did (crickey, I can NOT remember the name… after the third tunnel, though) that is very similar to this dog’s escape route. Pretty much a face climb for the first pitch. Then it turns into a beautiful dihedral and finishes with a ledge. LOL… although when I reached above the ledge to pull myself up and over, I was surprised to find the rock layer had changed and it was nothing but a sloper. I HATE slopers! I slapped, slipped, and eventually pulled through. Needless to say, I left some skin from my knees behind.
Here is the amazing escape dog with a rock-climbing escape… And after the dog video is a short video of climbing a dihedral in a rock climbing gym (jump ahead to 20 seconds). You can see the similarities between the two.
LOL… I just watched both videos at the same time. Kinda fun… like they’re racing each other.

Still picking my jaw up off the floor after watching that dog! How the heck did he ever figure that out to begin with??
I don’t know. That’s what truly amazes me. Not the ability to do so… I run agility with dogs. They are very agile. But the fact that she figured it out!
That is pretty amazing Michelle!
Yes it is!
How are you doing Michelle?
Doing okay. Just have been very busy and mind has been shutting down early lately. Just spending the evening trying to catch up on some posts. How are you doing?
Good, kind of the same. 😉 maybe when we get caught up we can have a good blog chat. I’m in the middle of a few thing now, as I’m sure you are.
Sounds good to me!
some crazy shit Michelle. continue…
Oh yeah.
Absolutely amazing!!!
No kidding. I wouldn’t be able to have taken that dog rock climbing with me… she’d follow me up the crags and I’d be too afraid she’d fall. Hmmm… maybe a extra person, a doggie harness, and her own personal belayer.
