on June 1, 2013Hey nice to read your dispatches. We took our fox terrier Sushi up to the summit of Mt Brewster, just before your climb in 2010, via same route as you, and she has climbed a good number of the peaks along the main divide, including some of the ones you guys have been up eg.Huxley (twice, via different routes), Barth, Strauchan, etc. etc. She's done other (unmentionable!) peaks in Westland / Mt Cook NPs as well. Her in-built crampons work well in the steep ice! She is hatching a few more climbing plans down south for 2013-14...
