Pisgah Climbing School in North Carolina was awarded PETA’s Compassionate Business Award after founder Karsten Delap and three colleagues rescued a dog that had been stranded on a ledge roughly 200 feet up a cliff for three days.
According to WLOS, the dog’s guardian and several others tried to reach the dog but were forced to turn back because of the dangerous rock face. On Oct. 19, Delap’s rescue team trekked half a mile into the remote area of Ramsey Cliff on a nighttime rescue mission.
The dog, a hunting companion, had ended up on the cliff during a chase during bear season, Delap wrote in his blog. The climbers used headlamps to navigate loose rocks and unstable boulders as they made their way toward the dog.
Delap described the operation as “the most technical dog rescue” he had undertaken in over two decades. After finding the dog, Delap earned the frightened dog’s trust with treats, then secured him in a harness before helping lower him down the cliff.

The dog was swiftly reunited with his relieved owner. He had been without food or water for several days, but was recovering, according to PETA.
PETA Senior Vice President Colleen O’Brien praised the team’s efforts. “This dog was trapped in a terrifying predicament and would have died if not for these climbers’ skill, determination, and compassion,” she said.
She also added, “PETA encourages everyone to follow their kind example and do everything they can to help an animal in danger.”
To reward the team for its heroic efforts, Pisgah Climbing School received a framed certificate and vegan chocolates.
