How the fuck did his dog climb 70 feet up the cliff with him?

Poor dog.


.

bees love the mountains guess its safer. i removed a huge hive on a popular mountain.

poor bastards.. i guess he climbed over one? that.. i cant even imagine

eww, bees are one of my worst nightmares. i'm sure the poor pup didn't want to leave his owner when he was being attacked, the dog could have survived if he had run away...that's loyalty :(

Yeah, that's not very clear in the article. Idk.

couldn't rehost.. hotlinkn

OH NO! That's so sad :( :(

not from the story, just what was coming up for mountain climbing with dogs..

and only way this can be explained :(

Yeah I agree had to be some kind of contraption like that.

There is a thread dedicated to Steven Wallace, the climber, on Mountain Project Forum here.

In the thread people who knew him posted some pics.

This is him and a friend, the climber who died is the one on the bottom.

EDIT: Just read further down the forum and they quoted another article about what happened "Johnson's dog, which also was attacked by bees, was found dead on top of the ridge where Johnson was rappelling" :(:(

can i get a piece of gum? :love-boob

Yeah im sure he was able to jump off a cliff side while strapped to his owner. :error

hmm, guess he hit the nest and the bees were attracted to the barking? strange

damn, attracted with hammering.. he was setting up routes for people

doggy commited suicice

Damn. It seems even more awful after seeing pics of them. Poor guys. JFC.

Have they tracked down the bees and killed them to make sure they don't hurt anyone else?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

they are going to get some bees to kill the other bees

Da FuCk???

Looks like BDSM entwined with beastiality.

:1orglaugh

man their hard to track down. depending on the size of the hive they could swarm several times a week. killer bees are nomadic

:1orglaugh that's what you see?? :helpme

That's a nasty way to go man, damn.

:( sad way to go.

jezzzzz poor animals :Oh crap

Damn, I just got back from a bike ride where I got stung on the lip. Fucking painful ... I imagine that would be a terrible way to die.

When we were kids one summer during a pool party in our back yard, my brother was throwing a beach ball up in the air under a tree by our pool. Turns out there was a huge bee's nest, it fell, and cracked open on his head. He go stun like thirty times.

Ouch.

:1orglaugh

sad the dog died too.

Horrible way to go. For them both :(

Poor bastard

I ran over a yellow jacket nest when I was a kid and the fuckers stung the shit out of my legs. I had dozens of stings and, man, it royally sucked. Horrible pain. I really feel for this guy and his poor dog. Death by bee sting is a truly horrible death.

I remember years ago when i was golfing with a friend, a wasp got under his t-shirt, and stung the FUCK out of him, all the way up his chest. Can't remember the exact amount of times he got stung, but it was more than a few.

I only got the wasp off him when i saw it appear at his neck, and i hit it with a golf club... :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

The mental image of somebody hitting a wasp off of their friend's neck with a fucking golf club. Too funny.
