Bla Bheinn with a dog

Bla Bheinn with a dog


Postby KC Pendragon » Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:42 pm

Has anyone advice about taking a dog on Bla Bheinn? She’s very fit and has had very long days in the hills, I’m just a bit concerned about the gabbro and her paws.

The main route via Coire Uaigneich would be the best, I've seen a collie on that route that got to the top no problems. Via the South ridge there are some very sharp boulders as well as a little exposure on the route between the summits.
