[pct-l] prep for JMT--advice?

[Ned Tibbits]

Hi, Ponch!

We just recently posted information gleaned from the class of 2006 regarding 
their experiences with ice axes, crampons, snow levels, etc..  If you don't 
have it in your email, I'll send you a copy.  As I can, I'll continue the 
information gathered on other topics asked in the preceeding Thru Hiker 
Questionaire.
