As I recall, the last two PCT hiker deaths were veteran AT thru hikers. Both were
snow related. Basically, with experienced hikers, it seems to always come down
to one bad decision.
Snow is one thing. But you add altitude, bad weather and a lack of trail and things
can go wrong very fast.
On the PCT if there is a brutal mountain pass anywhere on the west coast, you
are going to be walking over it.
Know your limitations and be prepared.
