Dead dog below looking glass wall 23-Dec-2012 At 6:06:15 PM Justcameron

There is what appears to be the remains of a dead dog below looking glass wall, and it's pretty bloody stinky!

It's just below Menage a Trois which was the route I wanted to do. It was unbearable to go that close so ended up on Blow by Blow instead, but my belayer got a fair whiff being on the ground for so long while I fretted over the low unprotected crux moves.

The dog is also right underneath the abseil chains so your rope might end up a bit stinky too. We abseiled off a natural bollard to the left.

Probably worth avoiding the area for a couple of months while it decomposes - unless anyone's keen to go up there with a shovel.
