Well, I was short-sighted. I forgot I live in British Columbia, the land of many mountains and rapids. Of course there will be time where ferrying Riley over a river is needed. Wait, what? Why?!

There’s someone in Colorado doing this to his corgi as well:

Corgi in a harness anchored to a steel cable with a cliff in the foreground.

This is in Colorado, last time I was out rock climbing. He had to go about 60 feet across a tyrolean (steel cable) about 30 feet above class 2-3 rapids. He has his own harness that is rigged with 2 redundant safeties. He didn’t whine, shake, or seem nervous at all.

Except this one seems to be scared stiff. But again, one would needs balls of steel to be ferried across rapids inbetween steep rockfaces.

Apparently these dogs don’t go rock-climbing per say, but they wait for their owners to return at the foot or at top of a climb site. See, they accompany the owners on hikes, then they are tied off at a boulder and enjoy the scenery while the humans go about risking their lives.
