Cochise the Dog Descends the Crux of the Flatiron Trail

Sometimes, people drag their dogs on routes that are not really suitable for dogs.  The long, steep gully leading up to the Flatiron is one such route.  The route involves some Class IV scrambling in places and descending can be even more difficult than ascending.  This poor dog was scared spitless and had to be wrestled down what is actually an overhanging pitch.  (The video does not really show this well)
It's ok to leave your dog at home sometimes.
