Looking for Wolf Jaws / Gothics advice

[rhihn]

Fear not........ There is a one in place now, and the replacement ladder it a good one

Here's a photo of it I took last september.

Just pretend your a fireman rescuing a doggie from a building. I'd say at least half the times I've been on the range, I've seen dogs making there way

Tim, it's been a while since we did this mountain, and I've heard there have been reroutes. Do you know if this is the same place where there used to be a cable?

Dick, I believe this is just below where the cable use to be. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
My dog (112lbs Rottweiler) made it around this when he was young and healthy and hiking every week. He could never do it now (131lbs ). Be careful both here and on the Wolfjaws. It would be a chore getting an injured dog or person out from there.

It's easier for a dog to go up ladders than down them.
Though my beagle was able to run down the one on Armstrong. It's not quite verticle as seen in the photo above.

You could always bring a rope and a doggy harness and lower your dog down. I have seen this done before and it works quite well

Adam, that's kind of what I was imagining in post #13. We'll have that as a back-up plan.

Thanks once again to everyone who's contributed. The visuals, advisories, cautions, and good wishes are all hugely appreciated.

Happy trails --
